[Healeys] Oil Pressure Relief Valve Question

[gradea1 at charter.net]

Here is the diagram from the workshop manual-the spring fits into the
valve recess and into the cap nut with a fibre washer to seal. Hank

	Moss spring measures 2.5”, mine is just over 2.25”, so it
doesn’t appear to have been stretched. 

	Question is, is it supposed to set down in that hole on the plug? It
does go into the bullet valve.

	Yikes! Get a new spring-someone has stretched that one to make more
oil pressure. It must be making geysers at your rockers. See Moss for
a replacement-they may have the overall length mentioned. Oil pressure
at start up should be 60-80 depending on viscosity and 20-30 at idle.
Yes, the spring release is set to be about 60lbs. Hank

	My recently rebuilt AH 3000 with new oil pump is putting out 100 psi
of oil pressure at startup and is at an easy 50 to 60 psi at idle when
heated up. 

	It is my understanding that the oil pressure release valve is set to
not exceed 60 psi? 

	I pulled it out, and my question is, is the spring supposed to sit
down inside the machined hole in the plug or is the spring supposed to
sit on the lip of the plug and not go down into the hole.
