I Can't find my oil pressure relief valve!!

Can anyone help me locate the oil pressure relief valve on a 4ltr Serp engine.

Thanks

from memory it was easiest to get at without the aid of a pit or 4 poster etc,by removing front offside wheel, its down in the oil filter/oil pump direction.think(but not certain)its adjoining oil pump.there you can see it,identifiable by the internal circlip holding the assembly in its housing.plunger should have a very clean,smooth surface and be burr and highspot free if this helps.

I think I'm right in saying that on the serpentine engine the OPR valve is behind the front engine cover - the cover has to be removed to get to it and the oil pump.

Why do you want to get to it anyway?
