Doing springs and retainers
i did my friends springs and retainers on his car the other day and im guessing its because i didnt have a filter on the air compressor, but the one cylinder had water in it...is this ok or what?

If it was just water and not coolant it would probably be ok but I would use an air dryer or at least drain your tank once a week or so. I drain mine every time I'm done using it.
