Air Injection Check Valve: Testing and Inspection


Whenever a hose is removed from a check valve it should be inspected. Replace check valve if the hose shows signs of exhaust gas contamination. Little or no air should be felt comming from check valve with engine running at idle. Air should flow freely through the valve towards the engine cylinder head.
