Mounting compressor?

Got a question. Does it matter if you mount a az compressor on its side. Instead of upright? Wondering if that has anypart of why ive gone through 3 comps in less then a year. I know there junk but wonder if i mounted it upright if itd help

ive heard peeps on here say dont mount sideways... something about the oil flow or something.

I think they're oiless, if they are then it shouldn't matter how you mount them.

The heads on most are designed to be mounted upwards to properly dissipate heat and run properly.

Being said, I don't think it really matters how you mount an AZ. Chances are its gonna take a shit on you anyways. haha.

^ nice!

airflow, not oil... i knoew it was something like that.

yeah AZ's tend to fuck up when mounted any which way. i think they come with a "fuck up guarantee".

haha so i hear....
