- Inspect all valves, valve sleeves, valve bores for scores, nick or burrs. Check all fluid passages for obstructions. Inspect all mating surfaces for burrs and scores.
- Inspect all springs for distortion. Check all valves and plungers for free movement in their respective bores. All the components when dry must fall from their own weight in their respective bores.
