ac comp rebuild

[zdatsupra]

Hello,
About 2 yrs ago the top of the comp manifold seal blew so I replaced it.
Replaced the evap, filter and one of the lines. Charged it up with R12, new oil and it worked good.
Then the engine rebuild started. Motor is finally running but now the seals in the compressor are leaking so Im wondering if its worth rebuilding the compressor which has about 128k miles on it. Or should I spring for a new one. Its Fl so AC is definitely my friend.

you can find a remaned one for cheap prolly. check out napa they usually have oem or close to oem parts.

Im skeptical of anything remand especially ac compressors.
Mine was compressing fine so Im just wondering if anyone has experience with replacing all the seals. Maybe that would be just as good as a remanned.
