318 Dodge Check Valve
I ran across something I haven't seen before the other day. It is a check valve out of an early 318 motor (not a Y block). It was located under the rear main cap running straight up. I made a few calls and was told that is an oil check valve that was used in some 318's with solid cam's and adjustable rockers. Can someone confirm this?
The one I have is toast. Anyone have an idea on where to find a replacement?? Thanks!! Richard |

Here is a quote from Mopar Engines, 9th Edition

So yes, you are right about this. It actually was even in the 'A' engines with hydraulic lifters as well. And here's a tip. Don't be stupid like me. I tried to poke a hole through it and pull it out the bottom. It can be knocked out by a long thin bolt/rod straight down through the hole where the oil pressure sending unit goes. |

That plug isn't a check valve.

Technically, true. It's not a valve at all, it's just a plug..
At least that's what I figure given the description of its location. |
