General SSV Assembly

1. Place a left end base block in a vise.

Note: For assemblies using an ARV base
block, the ARV block is in place of a left
end base block. Through

block, aligning the O-rings (9-007) with the
through ports. The square end of the left Inserts

end base block inserts will be located in the

counterbores of the base block. See Fig. 1. Counterbores
Left end base block Base block
3. Tighten the two base block insert screws to
the two left end base block inserts using a Fig. 1
9/64 in. hex torque wrench placed through
the base block inserts to 35 to 45 in.∙lb (4.0
to 5.1 N∙m). See Fig. 2. Base block

4. Continue building the base block assembly
by repeating steps 2 and 3, tightening the
base block insert screws to the adjacent base
block inserts. Place the outlet base block
in the desired position within the base block Fig. 2
assembly.
 Caution
Do not intermix standard and Through ports
MPC-style base blocks.
Note: It is recommended that the outlet base
block be assembled close to the center
of the assembly for the most consistent
flow results.
5. Assemble a right end base block to the O-rings
assembly, aligning the right end base block

block insert screws to the base block inserts
to 35 to 45 in.∙lb (4.0 to 5.1 N∙m) using a 9/64
in. hex torque wrench placed through the end
base block. See Fig. 3.
DBB module
6. Install a DBB module on each base block
with the alignment pin fitting into the
alignment hole on the DBB module. Using
two mounting screws (#10-32 x 1/2 in. with Mounting screw
standard 5/32 in. hex drive) tighten the DBB
module to the base block to 25 to 35 in.∙lb (2.8 Mounting screw Alignment hole
to 4.0 N∙m). See Fig. 4.
Note: For ARV assemblies, install only ARV
modules to the ARV base blocks. Alignment pin
