So I saw a few posts on the case relief valve recently. Decided to take a look at mine.
It was in pieces, or at least all the "guts" were out of the valve.
I reasembled everything and the car ran wierd. It was really noisy and the timing peaked at 30 degrees even at only 2500rpm. I think the max timing should be 18 degrees? I only drove like this for about 1/4 mile before diesel started puking out the front of the car!
The seal at the top of the IP blew out. Luckily I was able to take the cover off and reasemble with no leaks.
I punched the valve without the guts to bring the center piece back flush with the top of the valve.
So;
After I reasemble the valve, how do I set it to the correct pressure? How do I test the pressure? What is the pressure for the valve? Is there a measurement for how far the center of the valve should be depressed when looking from the top? That's the only thing I can figure unless I can somehow test the pressure? Maybe resort to getting a new valve?
