Can you get oversize pistons for that compressor ??
I haven't found any, and the standard size pistons are way too expensive as it is:

I know that Sears Parts is still in business.

The original pistons and rings seem to be in good shape after I cleaned the rust off in the ultrasonic cleaner.
If this compressor is like the ones I have had, the pump runs at maybe 1000 rpm. So you need a reasonable bore job, a good piston with reasonable clearance and rings with some tension. This compressor won't be doing 7000 rpm like Andy's motorcycle ... its pretty low tech. Just an FYI - Harbor Freight sells entirely new pumps for not much as well. Something to think about. Although this rebore might be more of a challenge than an economic need, and I can understand that as well. :-) Dave
This compressor may live in the garage. I have to load up the portable shop compressor to use air in the garage, so this might be a good thing to have working.
