On the valley core, there are 4 ejector rods that are ejecting through an angled surface of the corebox. The ejector rod is flat, so when the rod is set to the surface of the corebox the Pattern shop has to set it midway between the angled corebox surface. This essentially cuts the ejector rod tolerances in half. During production, when sand builds up under the ejector frame, all the rods are pushed in deeper into the core but the rods for angled surfaces go into the the core even further, depending on how they are intially set. This causes considerable downtime in the coreroom to readjust the rods. On the STV corebox, remove the four ejector rods on the valley core as shown in the attachment. Fill the holes created from the removed ejector rods with a contoured .014" slotted vent. This has been sampled under PS10-31 and there were no stickers experienced in the week that it ran.
