Check Valves
DESIGN I (MODELS WITH CHECK VALVE ONLY)
Located in crankcase cover under center main
bearings.
These can be damaged by hot combustion blow-by
into crankcase.
To Check: Look through hole - if you see light, the ny-
lon ball is bad - probably melted; REPLACE valve. If
you see no light, insert fine wire into check valve hole
to see if there is slight movement of the nylon ball; if
ball moves, valve is o.k. otherwise, replace check
valve.
