Control Valve Body and Spacer Plate Assemble

^ Tools Required:
- J 25025 Guide Pins
- J 36850 Transjel(tm)
- Or Equivalents





1. Inspect the spacer plate (370) from the control valve body for the following:
^ Bent or stuck thermal elements
^ Plugged holes
^ Damage from being bent
^ Plugged or damaged solenoid screens





2. Inspect each check valve seat (370) for excessive peening. Place a ballcheck valve (372) on each seat and use a flashlight in order to look for visible light between the valve and the seat.





3. Place the ball check valves (372) into the valve seats in the case cover.
4. Use J 36850 Transjel(tm) or equivalent in order to hold the valves in position.





5. Insert the solenoid screens (374) into the valve body spacer plate (370).
6. Assemble the valve body spacer plate and two spacer plate gaskets (369, 371) onto the case cover (400).





7. Position the check ball valves (372, 373) onto the valve body assembly. Retain the valves with '36850 Transjel(tm) or equivalent.

Important: Be sure that the check ball valves do not fall out of the valve body assembly during installation.





8. Install the J25025 pins (410) into the case cover (400).
9. Install the control valve assembly (300) onto the case cover and the guide pins (410).





10. Install the retaining bolts (375-380) into the valve body at the locations indicated.

Important: Tighten and torque the bolts in a spiral pattern starting from the center. If the bolts are torqued at random, valve bores may become distorted and inhibit proper valve operation.





11. Tighten the valve body assembly bolts. Refer to "FASTENER TIGHTENING SPECIFICATIONS."
