Your over charged or condenser restriction. Period exclamation mark end of sentence. Pressures are too high!

Why the new compressor? Internal failure? If so you should have replaced condenser, accumulator, orifice tube, and flushed the lines and evaporator at a minimum. Compressor come with pag oil in it already? Should have. And then needs to be turned by hand to move the oil not just charged and started.

I had a clutch failure and thought I was gonna throw a compressor kit at it (comp, orifice, accumulator) until I seen metal shavings all over orifice tube while taking it apart. Must have had a compressor failure on previous owner and they just put a compressor on it.

I’m back with an Esky this time
Blade is some 5/8” thick plate I had laying around and I put a beveled edge on both sides. Not to a point, the tip of the edge is about 1/4” Press is a 20 ton. But it only takes about 2 ton to bend 1/4” to 90*. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You knew exactly the info I needed. Thank you!

Can't fix stupid
I did mine proactively before i had any issues, other than an odd noise noticed when the ac was running it only had high miles.
I did a full compressor dissemble to confirm no metal and to ensure i accounted for all of the oil, otherwise i was prepared to flush the system.
If i saw metal, i probably would have replaced the condenser with it.
I also pulled the orifice and the little screen under it for the rear ac, all looked great so i did a very careful and detailed oil balance.
No guessing, be 100% sure i accounted for the oil removed, and added back any that the new compressor didn't contain.
the orifice was replaced with the updated OEM style, I never could find the pn for the rear ac screen so i just cleaned it and replaced it's little seal.
And of course, per the factory manual I added the extra oil to the compressor and not the drier/accumulator.
