Subject:      AC issues
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


The bolts on my AC were not installed correctly by some previous
mechanic. Consequently, the thing vibrated until it wore through the
cast bosses on the compressor case. Now it is not operational in that
condition. I have found that the case has another set of bosses as part
of the AC case and they are in a position that I can remount the
compressor on the compressor mount, but the refrigerant pipe that comes
out the end will have to be mounted in such a way that the Shrader
filler valve will no longer be 'UP" but instead, "DOWN".


My question is, given that the compressor still works fine, will this
change in position make any difference as long as the valve can be
reached for service?


TIA.
