[Healeys] Oil Pressure Relief Valve Question

[David Nock]

The spring should fit into the hole in the plug and the valve. 
There is a bleed hole on the back side of the valve that drains back int the oil pan. It sit in the in debt of the oil pan. I have seen some alloy pans that block the hole. Also have seen people use excessive silicone and plu the hole up.
