Oil retention valves, replacing


Note:

The oil retention valves must be replaced if the
valvetrain sounds noisy on short drives,
although the noise may go away on longer
drives.
When installing the oil pump, ensure that the
driver at the crankshaft engages in the oil
pump,

- Remove intake manifold.

- Remove cover plate beneath intake manifold.

Tightening torques - Replace oil retention valves (arrows).

Function of revised oil circulation
Intake side
Oil is taken in from the oil pump -6- via the oil pick-
up pipe -8-.
Pressure side
Oil pressure comes from the oil pump -6- through
the upper part of the oil pan past the pressure relief
valve -7-, oil pressure switch -9-, oil cooler -2- and
oil filter -1- to the pressure relief valve -4-.
Pressure relief valve -4- controls the oil pressure to
the engine.
The pressure relief valve -7- is a safety valve that
opens only at high RPM and cold engine
temperature.
Advantages
Oil pressure is controlled from the oil filter and oil
cooler, so that the oil pressure available at those
locations is supplied via the pressure relief valve -4-
or from the oil pump.
