Lube Oil Pump Relief Valve Kit for JG/2, JGA/2, JGM, JGN, JGP,
and JGQ Frames
Ariel now provides a relief valve rebuild kit A-
30279-K with a new style plunger and adjustment
screw for C-0084 and C-0866 lube oil pumps on
JG/2, JGA/2, JGM, JGN, JGP, and JGQ frames. The
kit helps prevent abnormal plunger wear, which
causes oil pressure fluctuations. The rebuild
kit includes the plunger, spring, valve cap gasket,
valve cap cover gasket, and adjustment screw
with integral spring retainer. In older pumps, the
spring retainer and adjustment screw are two
separate parts.
C-0084 and C-0866 pumps have a date code
located between the pump inlet/outlet ports (see
Figure: Lube Oil Pump with Relief Valve). Older
pumps used a date code format of “A19” to
signify January 2019. As of October 2022 (date
code 10-22), new pumps from Ariel contain the A-
30279-K components. Ariel will transition to new
pump part numbers as part of this change: C-
10756 will replace C-0084, and C-10757 will
replace C-0866.
