Inspect Oil Pressure Regulator Valve as follows:
1.
Remove valve retaining plug from crank- case.
2.
Remove
oil
pressure
regulating
valve
from
crankcase bore.
3.
Move the regulator inner valve assembly (1, Fig.
13) to ensure it operates freely.
4.
Inspect per Figures 13a and 13b.
5.
Make sure that the snap rings (4 and 5, Fig. 13)
are in position and the inner valve spool has an
unobstructed 3.175 mm (0.125 in.) diameter bleed
hole (3, Fig. 13).
NOTE: This inspection can be performed without oil
pressure regulator valve disassembly.

NOTE: If conditions exist as shown in Figures 13a
and 13b and dimensions are not as specified replace
complete valve assembly.
Inspect and Repair Oil Drain Hole as follows:
1.
Locate oil drain hole in the crankcase pressure
regulator valve bore (Fig. 14).
NOTE: The oil drain hole is an elliptical shaped port,
positioned in the lower radius of the bore. Three
o’clock to six o’clock on 400 Series engines and six
o’clock to nine o’clock on 300 Series engines.
Obstruction of the drain hole will result in excessive
oil pressure and possible oil filter rupture.
