This valve is mentioned the 617 manual under rebuilding the engine.
As I said, the experienced mechaninc I know and trust at the dealer has never replaced one.
the check is simplet. Use a Mityvac in the oil seperator tube. Seal it, I know my rubber tube on the Mityvac is smaller than the drain tube. Then pump away. YOu should be able to hold a vacuum. If not the replacement of the valve is done by dropping the lower oil pan.
I did not get to vacuum test the valve today. I got busy and then
had to watch Texas A & M "beat the hell out of" Texas Tech.
Also spent a hour trying to post the pictures of the 617 engine manual job 01-415 that had the missing steps. Never did get it to post properly. Michael LaFleuris trying to rebuild his engine and steps 36 through 42 are missing in the CD but in the paper manual that I have.
