I have tried to take it apart but couldn't. As it does not leak when the knob is not turned so it's not a significant problem. 

If you fill guns only, then I would suggest you to get a smaller filter. In my case the small black filter was not out yet when I got my Yong Heng so I had to do something to the big gold filter. I added a needle valve to the outlet like what you have described. The valve is said be rated for...

The Tuxing rings are not closed but can be openned up like a C

High temperature locktite.

Yong Heng has got three rings . The 2-ring and 4-ring designs are used in Tuxing compressors. 2 rings for low-end models ( looks like Yong Heng ) and 4 rings for high-end models ( no externally tubings, just a big head ). From the official on-line shop of Tuxing in China : 

Such problem is VERY common. Suggest to check for leakage with soapy water first. 

I remember seeing this thread before and the guy did not provide any photos of his blown-up gold filter despite asked by respondents. I am definitely no expert on the subject but my understanding is that seamed pipes typically have relatively thin wall. Can think-wall aluminium pipes such as...

Yes, I have once installed the reed valve blades in the wrong orientation and it failed to build up pressure. 

Sorry... I don't shop on Aliexpress. I order the parts directly from Yong Heng in China. May be some other members can help.

I would add the followings : - Reed valve blades ( 2 in a set ) at the top of the high-pressure cylinder - rubber gasket in the crankcase. It will shrink over time and you wont be able to put it back if you need to remove the crank case cover. - seals set. 

Just cut it .....

I use the collet chuck of my lathe but I believe a drill chuck should work as well.

Not that difficult if you know the way. The Yong Heng people taught me this method. Only a metal rod is needed : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBh9pv-Ub90&feature=youtu.be How the workers did it in the Yong Heng factory : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgg8YouWZfs&feature=youtu.be

Get a Yong Heng + gold filter plus spare parts ( pistons and con rod, seals, reed valve blades, gasket ). Will be well within your budget. The machine is very simple and easy to fix. If you are mechanically inclined, you will be able to replace any prone-to-fail parts within an hour. 

This and the availability of parts at very low cost, makes YH the only self-serviceable compressor in the market. 

Fully agree on this part. I always run the compressor for half a minute with the bleeding valves wide open after use. 

You can do it either ways. Turning off the compressor before opening the valves will not do any harm to the compressor. My YH has auto shut off so it always turns off by itself while the valves are still closed. No problem whatsoever. The internal of the compressor is constantly under high...

Umm... not sure if that's really logical. Bleeding the valve after filling also results in sudden pressure drop but I don't see anything happening to the gauge of my YH
