Well, my A/C compressor is blown again. I won't go into all the details, but let's just say that I'm over using the Four Seasons rebuilds. I've got a line on a brand new Mazda Panasonic compressor, but according to my source it's for SOHC. The part number is BR70-61-450A. The DOHC is BR74-61-450A. My question is this: has anyone ever successfully swapped the compressor from SOHC to DOHC, or even vice-versa? Is there a mounting issue? My compressor looks exactly like this one as far as I can tell, but I don't have it removed, nor do I have the other compressor, so who knows.

Yup, I agree ... that's what happened to my last compressor because it had a slow leak.
As far as the differences go, I still don't know for sure. Once I get the new compressor I'll post up the info. I do know that the main body of the compressor is the same, but there may be a slightly different pulley offset. If that's the case I'll just have the clutch swapped over from my old one. Stay tuned.Scott
