  9. Inspect the upper valve body for the following conditions:
  10. • Valve bores for distortion or damage
    • Fluid passages for blockage
    • Surface warp. Place a J 34673 across the upper valve body mating surface. Rotate the tool every 30 degrees checking for surface warp. If upper valve body surface warp exists, replace the upper valve body.
  11. Inspect all valves, springs and attaching parts for unusual wear or damage. Replace as necessary.

Installation Procedure

    Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
