Car ac compressor problem?
While trying to remove my drive belt I took the head off my ac compressor (the part that rotates when it engages). I figured out the proper way to change the belt, however the ac compressor will partially rotate while not engaged and once what appeared to be burning oil came out. I see evidence of heat stress on the head. Do I need to put grease or some washer inside the head of the compressor?

the part that rotates is not the head it is the clutch assembly and do not grease it , if you have clean
it very well hopefully you installed this correctly if not you may have just cost yourself a compressor
and if you damaged the clutch is some cases it is just as well to mput a new compressor on. then the evac the system and recharge . i seem to question the clutch because you removed it trying to replace a belt which is usually never the case , and you may have damaged it. or incorrectly installed it.
If you removed the head of the a/c comp , you will need to replace the a/c comp (sorry ) but they sux you cant get them back togeather , and if you do they will leak , and they cost a lot around $200.00 to $300.00 bucks good luck . you can try to get it back togeather and the best of luck but i cant 30 years exp on cars and big trucks
