12/30/22, 4:06 PM STC Oil Control Valve (Mechanical)

Raise the air pressure at least 103 kPa [ 15 psi ] above the
upper shift-point, then slowly begin to lower it. Record the air
pressure at which the oil pressure raises above 55 kPa [ 8 psi
]. This is the lower shift-point (B).
Note : The lower shift-point is the shift from normal to
advanced timing. The overhead will go from quiet to
noisy. This pressure must be lower than the upper shift-
point. If it is not, rebuild or replace the STC oil control
valve.
Compare the shift-point values of those specified for the valve
in the Calibrate section of this procedure.

Leak Test
Disc Valve

Adjust the air pressure regulator until the air pressure gauge
shows 0 kPa [ 0 psi ].

Disconnect the fuel drain line from the injector return line and
cap the fitting.

If the STC oil control valve does not have a rail drain line,
remove the rail drain plug from the STC oil control valve and
install a hose approximately 0.5 meters [ 19.2 in ] in length.

Put the fuel drain line into a bucket of water.

Apply 693 kPa [ 100 psi ] air pressure to the rail inlet.

Observe the bucket for air bubbles.

If leakage exists, repair or replace the valve.

O-ring

Disconnect the fuel pressure signal (rail) line.

Disconnect the fuel return (rail drain) line or remove the plug.

Inspect the lines for engine lubricating oil.

If engine lubricating oil is present, the o-rings will leak. Repair


or replace the STC oil control valve.

Note : Some engine operators blend engine lubricating


oil into the fuel. Discolored fuel can be expected when
blending is practiced. If the customer blends, continue
below.

Install plugs into the fuel pressure signal line and the fuel
return line (if equipped).
Remove the fuel pressure elbow fitting from the STC oil control
valve.

Start and operate the engine at 1200 RPM.

Use a small screwdriver to manually shift the STC oil control


valve several times by applying pressure to the disc valve
retaining nut.

If oil is observed, repair or replace the STC oil control valve.
