Yes, I'm doing the assembly that correct way. My concern is the the fitting spool valve over the pivot lever as assembling. It almost seems that the lever head isn't fully engaged into the spool valve cavity.
After doing some measurements, the lever height vs cavity it fits in is nearly .100" difference. So,lever is that .100 clearance shorter. I know it should have some clearance.
I was trying to install the pivot lever with spring, into the spool valve, and install together, but haven't had any success as lever head won't stay in spool socket due to the spring pressure. Kinda wonder how
the rebuilding shops do this procedure?
