Tools Used:

Compressor ran but would not reach the pressure shut off as air was leaking by. Discovered worn gasket and the check valve was not seating.

Disassembled the compressor including the compressor cylinder. Word to the wise: the case has some Torx screws way, down deep. Standard extensions wouldn't work as they were to large in diameter. The depth of one of the screws is in excess of 6" Replaced the head gasket and the tube gasket. Lubed the tube gasket with some dish soap to ease the installation. Use a torque wrench to set the head bolts.
Replaced the check valve and reconnected all hoses and wiring.
Plugged in and ran a test. All went well.

Air Leak above 60 psi

Disassembled compressor cylinder, replaced tube seal, gaskets and valve plate, reassembled. There was a YouTube video from eReplacementParts available if necessary. Some of the screws in the housing were in deep pockets and required torx driver with long shafts, but otherwise simple and straightforward. The location of the air leak at the tube seal was easy to diagnose once the housing was disassembled, by pressurizing and listening for the leak. Over time, heat will degrade the seal, fairly common problem for this compressor.

O-Ring around the pressure tube to the tank blew out at the pump head.

Compressor is probably 12 years old...and I use it all the time...so, no surprise really that it went south. Replacing the special o-ring requires the 4-bolt head to be removed. Removing the head will very likely damage the very delicate head gasket. So I replaced that too. The most difficult part of the repair was determining the proper orientation of the pressure tube when reassembling, but, a person can figure that out by spatially rotating in your noggin. The other part that required some "figuring" was locating the 5 Torx head screws that hold the two halves of the air pump case assembly and the 2 large philips head screws that prevent the air pump assembly from "sliding out" of the brackets on the top of the tank.
