on most engines the minimum valve margin is 0.03 in. that is about the thickness of a US dime, or 1/32 of an inch. Always check service information for the exact specifications for the engine being serviced

What is the best definition of margin pressure in hydraulics?

Margin pressure is a term used in Closed Center, Load Sense type systems in hydraulics. The term refers to the pressure difference between the pump outlet(valve inlet) and the valve tank pressure). The margin pressure is the way the valve signal to the pump it's status.

Where on the thoracic surface do you auscultate the tricuspid mitral pulmonary and aortic valves?

The heart sounds are heard at something called the 4 corners of the chest around the sternum.1) the aortic valve is heard at the 2nd intercostal space at the right sternal margin.2) the pulmonary valve is heard at the 2nd intercostal space at the left sternal margin.3) the mitral valve is heard over the heart apex which is in the 5th intercostal space in line with the middle of the clavicle.4) the tricuspid valve is typically heard in the right external margin of the 5th intercostals space.See the link below:

hi the valve clearance is adjusted by the size of the valve shims which sit on the top of the valves they range in thickness and the setting are under the bonnet on a sticker hope this helps


What is theFunction of arc valve in boiler feed pumps?

The ARC valve provides protection for centrifugal pumps during low flow conditions. It recirculates a minimum flow requirement automatically to the deaerator to prevent the pump from overheating and causing internal damage. Pump manufacturers will dictate a pump's minimum flow requirement. The ARC valve will be designed to flow normal capacities through the main valve and also size the bypass to handle the minimum flow. Additionally, the flow sensing element, a disc, also acts as a check valve to prevent reverse flow to the pump.


How do i do a valve adjustment for a olds 350?

You are not supposed to, it has hydraulic valve lifters, but if you think you need to, start yur engine with the valve covers off, at idle tighten each rocker arm bolt until they dont make the clicking noise. If you have roller rockers (aftermerket), wait until the engine is dead cold, then get a feeler gage, the thickness of the feeler is the thickness of the oil film, s it must be .25mm at the most (check the specs of your roller rockers).


How do you check piston to valve clearance on a 350 sbc?

use a piece of modeling clay,( you can get any wal-mart craft section). place on top of the intake valve relief . place the head on the motor with a few bolts and with a week spring and your valve in place, compress the valve and measure the clearance with a dial indicator and this should tell you thickness of the head gasket you need.


How do you size a boiler relief valve?

The relief valve should be at least as large (in BTU/hr capacity) as the input of the boiler. A 3.5 million input boiler would need then a relief valve to handle at a minimum 3.5 million BTU/hr.
