77. Main Case Control Valve Body Disassemble



Main Case Control Valve Body Disassemble






Caution: Valve Springs can be tightly compressed. Use care when removing retainers and plugs. Personal injury could result.

Important: The use of a honing stone, fine sandpaper or crocus cloth is not recommended for servicing stuck valves. All valve lands have sharply machined corners that are necessary to cleaning the bore. If these corners are rounded, foreign material could wedge between the valve and the bore causing the valve to stick. If it is found necessary to clean a valve, "micro fine" lapping compound 900 grit or finer should be used. Too much "lapping" of the valve will cause excessive clearances and increase the chance of a valve not operating.

1. Remove the manual valve (326).
2. Inspect the manual valve for:
^ porosity

^ nicks
^ scratches
