[Healeys] Oil Pressure Relief Valve Question

[David Nock]

Make sure you have the correct plug in the oil pan drain plug, I think that they are the same thread as the relief valve plug.

My spring is too large to fit into the hole in the plug – therefore the spring is effectively ½” too long and resultantly too stiff, so it isn’t working at 60psi.  

 

I’m thinking I should just drill out the plug a larger diameter so the spring fits inside?

 

Probably wouldn’t hurt to order up a new spring since this one is “smashed”.

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.

  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.
