Kit Installation
Installation Tips:
Before disassembly clean the exterior of the manifold.
It is common that the mounting surface will have some galling. Remove any galling high spots on both the cylinder and regen valve with a honing stone to ensure perfect contact of the O-ring surface to prevent a leak.
Inspection:
Remove the 2 large Pilot Check Valve shown in the picture below with arrows. Check for cracks at the bottom of these holes where the valve nose seats are. If a crack is discovered, you need a new block. If ignored the O-rings will wash out and you risk a chunk of the block braking loose contaminating the system. A crack is somewhat rare but should be inspected. The OEM made a revision at some point reducing this possibility.
Picture below shows the O-ring washed out and a chunk of the block that broke off lodged into the end of the valve. This is rare and I have only seen this once. If the operator notices a loss of power or the shear behaves differently, it’s best to stop and figure out why.
