It's one of those things that's extremely basic, yet I have seen a wide amount of variation on techniques, products and greases used, etc. I've worked with three different techs in the last couple of months and each one had their own products and methods of applying them, etc.
Just wondering if there will be a lot of variation in the replies here or not! :)
Most of the new motors don't have oil ports on them. for the rest, Zoom spout oilers work well.
Yes, there will be a wide variety of answers.
Yeah, that's what I've always used (of course only on motors with oil ports), one guy actually takes *some* models apart and uses what he thinks is a high quality grease on all parts, even the core! Another guy uses a grease gun with a needle attachment and electric motor bearing grease (Mobil Pyrex). He swears it's longer lasting than the zoom spouts, because homeowners don't typically call every year like they shoot to get a checkup which includes blower wheel motor lubrication.
Thought he was kinda nuts. :)
I apologize to everyone; it was my understanding that this was a group for discussion amongst HVAC professionals. However, it appears to be more of a circle-jerk place where regulars post and reply just to hear themselves talk and to belittle others.
Please forgive my mistake, I'm out.
You get pissy, yet in the very first reply, Noonie answered your question.
Bye-Bye
Ok, Im sorry too. What I meant to say was, "Could you just picture Qong, cranking on a whale and trying to fill a
4 oz vial?" Circle jerk that Qong......... and Bite me again! Looks like you got exactly what you paid for. BubbaI'll post pictures to a free hosting site, when I get the film developed. That is, if my hands aren't too sticky.
That's the best description I've heard in ages, of alt.havoc. Do you write professionally? You do have talent.
