BYPASS
VALVE
Located
on
the outside of the rear bearing plate, the
bypass valve (Figure
76)
controls
oil
pressure
by
allowingexcessoil toflow directly backtothecrank-
case. Normally the valve begins to open at about
25
psi
(172.5
kPa).
It
is
non-adjustable, and normally
needs no maintenance.
To
determine if high oil pressure is caused by the
plunger sticking closed, or
low
oil pressure by the
plunger sticking open, clean
and
inspect the valve.
To
remove the valve, unscrew the recessed plug
in
the rear bearing plate and lift out the spring and
plunger assembly. Determine proper valve operation
by checking thespring and plunger against thegiven
values:
