The "jiggle valve"
By Glenn - 12/13/2003 3:32:10 AM; IP 12.251.42.104
Thats what its called in the FE book I'm looking at. Do I take it out and plug it and drill a restriction for timing chain oiling or leave it alone? The jiggle valve is shown to be at the front of the block in the main oil gallery used to provide oil to the timing chain. Just in case you didn't know. I sure didn't. BTW, after my FE melted down due to oil pressure loss I am threading all oil passages and it looks like 1/4 pipe plugs are the way to go. Can someone please say a yea or nay to this idea too? Many thanks to you guys.
