When you have the RPM at 1100 building air pressure, how long does it take if you time it with a stop watch? DOT says 45 seconds maximum from 85 to 100 PSI but it should be MUCH faster than that.

Something I do to check a compressor that I believe to be super weak, I will take the discharge hose off the compressor when the engine is not running, and then start the engine and leave it at idle, and cover the discharge fitting with my thumb. If I can keep my thumb over that fitting and it not push my thumb off the fitting with air, than that compressor is weak.

I would not bother with changing the head with that small of a difference in price between the complete assembly. That way you'll have an entirely new compressor. Was that parts only, or installed?

Yes I checked all the air lines
