+ | There is only one moving part in the transfer valve assembly which is the triangular shaped disc in the pics below (reed, patel, wafer or whatever you'd call it). \\ | ||
+ | It's a triangular piece of .009" thick stainless steel that can move about .015" left to right in the valve. There is no spring. \\ | ||
+ | In a RUNNING engine, it is a one way valve that lets air and oil pass through it from primary case to flywheel case. \\ | ||
+ | [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOu0uR2ulF8|Click here]] to see a video of the direction of flow. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Positive crankcase pressure pushes the reed to the left and seals a small hole preventing flow into the primary. \\ | ||
+ | Vacuum in the crankcase pulls the reed to the right up against a stop that has a larger hole. \\ | ||
+ | The 3 cuts that make the reed a triangle allow air/oil to flow around it into the crankcase. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Without the engine running and with no spring to maintain a tight seal, oil can slowly leak through and let wet sumped oil pass into the primary. \\ | ||
+ | On engine start up the excess oil in the primary should be transferred back into the engine. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The thread is 3/4"-16. \\ There is nothing to wear out. However anything that stops the movement of the reed (rust or dirt) means the valve won't work. \\ | ||
+ | The one taken apart here was gummed up with old oil that had a tar like consistency. \\ | ||

+ | Also, as a test, a container of 20w-50 oil at room temperature was allowed to gravity drain from the transfer valve. \\ | ||
+ | It took 48 hours for 100 milliliters of oil to drip through the valve. \\ | ||
