Control Valve Body and Gaskets Assemble

Important: Some models are assembled with stamped steel control valve body covers. Some models are assembled with cast aluminum covers that have machined surfaces and threaded bolt holes.





1. Inspect the control valve body cover for the following:
Stamped Steel
^ Dents to the gasket sealing surfaces
^ Dents anywhere that may cause interference during assembly
