After careful inspection I found that the brass cover in the bottom of the meter valves is spring loaded and it's held in place with some carefully placed dents in the aluminum housing. I used a 3/16 reamer to remove the dents and the brass cover popped out. Behind it was a spring, then a smaller brass plate and then the metering rod. That's the good news, the bad news is the filter is located on the opposite side of the valve and it doesn't come apart. I don't think these are serviceable and without getting at the filter there is no way to clean them out. Looks like I will be calling Mr. Blevins.

Not sure how brake cleaner would compare to carb cleaner in dissolving the crud but now that you have it apart, seems like a good soak and then a shot of compressed air backwards would get most if not all the junk in the filter area out.

ATF is thin and has a lot of detergent in it.
I've used that mixed with acetone and it does a good job of cleaning. Try several things. It's like chicken soup for a cold - couldn't hurt!

tfee, try going to the Packard Paddock site. I believe it contains info on rebuilding the Bijur system. The blogger used to be a regular here, but has gotten involved in his business activities.

I rebuilt all the lines this weeked and am waiting for new oil meters from Bruce Blevins. I posted some pictures in my build blog if anyone is interested. If I get the parts this week I may be able to finish installing the lines next weekend.
