 ====== Transfer Valve (76 and earlier) ======

+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. \\

+Here are a few drawings detailing the assembly: \\

 The transfer valve is staked into position. ((Ferrous Head of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=581947&page=6)) \\
