Valve Body Assembly: Inspection

  1. Wash all parts in clean kerosene and dry them with compressed air only (do not use fluffy rags, etc.). Check all parts for burrs and scores; replace assembly if damage is found.
  2. When valves are clean and lubricated with fluid, they should fall freely of their own weight in respective bore; if not, check for valve or bore damage.
    CAUTION: Several valve body springs have similar dimensions; however, they must not be interchanged as they have different tolerances. See Fig 1 .
  3. Check all valve body springs for damage or collapsed coils.
  4. Take care not to disturb settings of adjusting screws, pressures affected by these screws can only be measured and adjusted accurately on a test stand.
