CLEVELAND YORK AIR CON

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

The compressor i have was working ok in the 4.1L crossy i took out ,but im trying to keep the look of the new clevo as factory as possible,so today i cleaned it up and found its stamped 02/82 so its the original york type,on the crossy it sits upsidedown and on the clevo the oposite,so i just flipped it over and every thing looks like it will bolt straight on,i have the correct pulleys and tensioners,the big boxy york type commpressors are not popular with performance looks,but are great for the factory look or for a numbers ghia or whatever to put on,there seems to be 3 different pulley types ,the one i have is a 2 row for a crossy ,i have also seen a 1 row on a genuine xe esp,and the more common 1 row with the huge alloy backing on it,see pictures,if anyone has an old v8 type pulley ,please can i buy it to put on mine as the factory v8,s had em,also its dam hard to find the belt tensioners that work cause most of em are stuffed,and no one does re-po ones unless you want to change the bearings on them which is a fookin time labour job.

Hey mate have you got a picture of the one your after or is the one in the pic already posted the one your looking for?

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

The pulley i am after is a 1 row with a large counterweight on the rear,they are very common,the one in the picture is my 6cyl 2 row pulley which will still work fine but its not a factory v8 one,i will try and put a picture up of the one im after ,thanks for your reply 351XD-FAIRMONT.

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

This is the factory v8 one with the large back.

[351XD_Fairmont 604]

No problem mate I'll keep an eye out for one

York compressors don't like sitting unused for long periods of time. Leaking at the head gasket seal is common as it dries out.

 

Good luck with it though... there may be better sealing kits for them now.

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

Mine is good,it was working fine,I will need some new hoses tho

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

nope the crossflow pulley misses out by about 6mm  

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

i have looked at shimming the compressor bracket that's the easy part, but if you do that the other tensioner's will be to close to the waterpump pulley,once they are also brought forward to line up,please does someone have a v8 pulley.

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

i just found a place that does them ,2 different styles,std clutch and flywheel clutch,on page 24 of the PDF.

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

The big sucker on the right is no longer available,but the one in the middle is,list retail price is $350 but get your local auto electrical place to get it wholesale and it will be much cheaper.

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

i painted it and bolted it all up just need the belt and either shim the old compressor or get the new pulley.

Did I read that you're using the 6cyl compressor on the Clevo?

Remember that the compressor Suction and Discharge ports can be opposite on the V8's, compared to the 6cyl's.

 

I have an account at Cooldrive Distribution (aircon wholesaler)

In the catalogue, there are two separate listings.

 

XA-XE 6cyl - CM1924 - RH Suction port

XD-XE V8 - CM1237 - LH Suction port

 

Interestingly though, the catalogue lists CM1924 as suitable for ZH/ZK and FD LTD V8's, but also states RH Suction.

 

In the Adrad Catalogue I have, the part numbers are as follows -

 

PYOR014 (ref CM1924) York Compressor 169cc capacity

PYOR004 (ref CM1237) York Compressor 169cc capacity

the lines went in the same way as a v8,just with the 6 they snake around the crossy ,with the v8 they are shorter on the passenger side,but hold the phone i will check what you are saying dave,but it could be like a c4 cooler lines where it doesnt matter which way they bolt up as long as it is circulating.

[SPArKy_Dave 8,869]

Compressors have a vacuum (suction) port, and a pressure (discharge) port.

The hoses definitely need to be around the right way.

would it work as a heater  if backwards

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

the thing is gunna turn the same direction 

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

hey your right i just looked up the air con cattledog and the er 210r is the righthand suction and er210L is the left hand crossy one ?

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

my suction is on the bottom,can someone else with a v8 system like this confirm there suction and discharge levels please,i have seen many pictures of york air con systems and the top one goes to the firewall which would be the discharge right ? if thats correct then this compressor is compatable .

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

82 compressor still works well.

[SPArKy_Dave 8,869]

Suction goes to the firewall, and discharge goes to the condensor, in front of the radiator.

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

ok cheers

[CHESTNUTXE 7,307]

looks like a special tool is needed to take the old clutch off
