Oil Pressure Spring Configuration SP6
Discussion
Hi Guys
Tracked a drop in pressure down to a broken relief spring, unfortunately the pieces and valve dropped out into the oil bucket and I didn't get a chance to see which way round they were configured.
Does anyone know the sequence for refitting? Spring first? Valve first? Which way round does the valve go?

Me too.....I stopped as soon a the warning light came on...fingers crossed.
The spring underneath I get (thx), but regarding the valve orientation I am still uncertain. The spring can either but up against the rim of the open end of the valve or against the capped end, which has a raised nipple in the centre - potentially locating the core of the spring?
Any ideas?

I've a couple of spare blocks, I checked the most accessible one and the relief valve is out... think I put it somewhere safe. The other is out of range at the mo. I was 90% sure the spring went inside the valve and the nipple was on top.... now I doubt my memory esp. as you seem to hint the spring doesn't fit inside the valve you have. I will dig around at the weekend and find the valve and spring, they are in a box somewhere.
What I do know for sure is that there are different valve lengths, I did post on this before, which I found out when comparing.
Hope someone else answers in case I can't find the bits....
