... for my air compressor? 

I have taken it apart for a cleaning and lube, but the head gasket is pretty bad looking.  :lol:





The black rubber o-ring there is the head gasket...  :(

O-Rings are sold at most hardware stores, and tougher to find ones will be stocked at an industrial supply-type shop.  But if its for that cheap plastic thing lying on your bench, why bother?   :rolleyes: :lol:

Screw it. I just put it back together. I've had this $10 air compressor for about eight years now, and it's never let me down. I wired in that handy on/off switch, and upgraded the appearance with the custom K&N grafix. There ain't no other air compressor sold nowadays that can take its place, so I want it to last.

That thing is tiny. What can you use it for?

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

I have wired a series of AA batteries to my air compressor to test it out. It pumps well. If I put my mouth on it, it blows up my cheeks.

Lantern batteries are for fools. Real men's lanterns burn whale oil.

How about silicone?

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.
