Today on my annual my A&P noticed that my oil pressure relief valve was not safety wired to the case body not the adjustment. Ok not problem, wire it up.
Then is noticed that the adjustment stem / nut what ever / was very loose and easy turns with just you fingers...he then told me it should not been this loose and it needs to be replaced.
I have not had any oil pressure readings out of ordinary and ranges are consistent.
How loose or tight should the adjustment part of the value be?
I want to investigate further before I drop 200+ on a new valve. Thanks
