staxx Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 E9 doesnt have a gasket for air compressor thats why you cannot find one use silicone around flange dont get any in the lower holes they return oil flow.

bobo Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks Staxx thats what we thought, but the "old" parts guy at the dealer did find the number and ordered the gasket! We installed it last nite! ran the truck for about 1/2 hour, pumped the brakes down to make it kick on and no leaks! I used a thin coat of hi-temp rtv gasket maker aswell. the gasket was found in one of the old paper parts binders, under power steering piping, which makes no sense, when the power steering pump is bolted beside it not to it! bobo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27164-e9-air-compressor/#findComment-136610 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshansen Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 the gasket!Interesting thing here is Mack says there is no gasket but just today I got an exchange compressor in a box with a Mack sticker on it that had a gasket in the box. Did not see any numbers on gasket. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27164-e9-air-compressor/#findComment-137331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
39 Baby Mack Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 END(T) -864's the grand daddy of them all used the same gasket, I would think you should be able to get them from a B&W distributor.I think this was called the "fox head flange".Ron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27164-e9-air-compressor/#findComment-137385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshansen Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Personally I prefer the no gasket approch but not the silicone. I like the Loc-tite gasket maker. Problem I have with the silicone is if you get interrupted while installing something it will harden and cause problems. The gasket maker only "cures" once it's clamped tight. Also if you do use a little too much the uncured stuf that is pushed out will not harden and plug up an oil passage like the silicone does.The other advantage of not using the gasket is you have a metal to metal connection with no gasket to compress over time and start seeping.
