STEP 14. Position separator plate
gasket then separator plate on valve
body. Align gasket and separator plate
holes with those in valve body. Insert
(2) long (1.56") valve body shoulder
bolts through separator plate and
valve body as illustrated in Figure 3.
The shoulder bolts are required to
maintain gasket and plate alignment
during assembly. The shoulder bolts
must be installed in the holes indi-
cated for proper alignment. Install (3)
reinforcing plates with (11) short bolts
tightening the bolts finger tight. Install
(1) M6x30mm (1.16") detent spring
guide bolt. (See Fig. 3.)
With all bolts just finger tight make
sure all plate and gasket holes line up
with valve body holes and the two
alignment shoulder bolts can slide in
and out freely. Torque the (12) bolts
to 80-100 lb.in. (9-11 Nm). If you do
not have a low range torque wrench,
run the bolts down until they stop
(wrist tight) then turn bolt an addi-
tional one eighth (1/8) turn. Remove
the (2) shoulder bolts used for align-
ment.

STEP 13. Visually check separator
plate gaskets against the B&M AOD
