R12 compared to R134a and Recharging R12 It is your Engine Coolant System I would be more concerned about with tx temperatures (specifically Stop and Go traffic)

Re: Plenum pull advice
Dose the zr1 have a orfice tube in the a/c system and were? When I have the system open I Am going to replace the accumulator, Change the high pressure and low pressure switches with new ones, Flush the entire system, Rebuild the AC compressor, Straighten the fins on the condenser, And replace all the O-rings And then vacuum it down and check for leaks And then pressurize it with nitrogen and check for leaks. Can anyone think of anything that I'm missing On a complete r12 overhaul and re-installation??

Re: Plenum pull advice
A quick check of all fasteners under there wouldn't hurt. I found several loose bolts on the oil vapor housing. I used lock tight on the loose ones.

Re: Plenum pull advice
Okay guys sorry its been a while its been hectic again I got my water pump on and most of the silicon hoses attached now for the ac system. I removed my compressor and broke open all the line as to replace all the orings. The compressor was actually leaking from one of the bolts that holds the whole assembly together that are located under the clutch so that means the copper crush washers were leaking. I flushed all the line with ac flush and remove my schrader valves and capped them to keep any moisture or contaminants out also and I cleaned up my compressor.

Re: Plenum pull advice
Its very important to get your compressor as clean as you can because when you break it open in needs to be as sterile as possible. Its also important to find some tight fitting plugs that fit in the compressor ports as to keep moisture and debree out of the compressor.

Re: Plenum pull advice
It's also a good idea to date and initial the outside case of the compressor for future reference.
