Great part, worked as expected. Easy repair.
Kit was an exact fit and came with a better second gasket than the OEM gasket.

Exactly. What was needed.
Air compresser stopped building pressure. Took apart compression head and saw the piston ring was bad. Ordered kit. It arrived fast and put it back together. Works great.
