China clone go BOOM !!!

New and a Feebay clone.. Came upside-down.. Since I had to dismantle it, I received almost all my money back... Well time to try to find parts after I measure them..

Looks like the cylinder casting completely failed. Good reason to always wear safety glasses when working with high pressure.

The last photo is differently that the ones with the broken head. The last one has push to lock water tube fittings and the other ones has barb fitting. Do you have 2 comptressors?

I changed out to the barbed fittings after chasing leak after leak.. here is some better pics..

Looks like a bad casting on the connecting rod or the low side cylinder.. Minimum I would need is a cylinder, low pressure piston, and connecting rod...

piston bore about 42 mm, connecting rod from crank hole to wrist pin 73 mm , bottom of connecting rod 20mm ,
wrist pin 12mm..

Wow! Glad you didn't get hurt.
My yong heng is doing well so far.
But I'm saving my pennies to buy an Omega Turbo. I'm not a huge fan of presurizing these tanks quickly.
I'd rather have a pump that takes it's time to fill to pressure.

If you wont to bolt a whole Yongheng top end on it? have a look at this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Water-cooled-Electrical-Air-Compressor-Head/32836626622.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000013.13.258f57befNbuMP&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.99734.0&scm_id=1007.13339.99734.0&scm-url=1007.13339.99734.0&pvid=56041c51-dce6-45c5-9ce1-2fae4e46574a you will still need the first stage bleed block and that can be had from the Yongheng page. I assume that the big end journal is OK and the same size but that can also be had if you do a little hunting. If it only cost you $200, you might be better off getting another and keeping the motor for a spare. If you just wont to repair it, this might be economical. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/cylinder-air-compressor-part-high-pressuare-head-compressor-pcp-1-piece-lot/32894268268.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000013.1.3b301449oZ4Rbl&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.90158.0&scm_id=1007.13339.90158.0&scm-url=1007.13339.90158.0&pvid=27c230f4-7670-4dba-be6d-2a12008b267b

Hi Cosmic......I am glad you are ok......I have a YH on order, now you have me scared!!!!!! I was thinking could this been caused by oil detonated , extreme pressure......what type of oil did you use. Porkey

It is a reason to be respectful of the dangers of this.. Also I have a male fill nipple on my input of the tuxing filter so even if something happens it will stop the flow from the tank and the filter.. It was a casting problem of the connecting rod.. I only use royal purple... I am wondering if the clones are from factory parts seconds, or thirds..

I have got a genuine YH. No problem so far but every time I use it, I have a door separating me from the compressor to avoid being injured should it explode. For that reason I need the auto shut off feature because I am unable to monitor the pressure.
There has been another report about YH exploding in the same way and that was suspected to be due to the use of wrong lubricant that detonated under high pressure.
