Narrative:

Near maximum structural weight for takeoff; 'left engine prv' EICAS and master caution occurred at 70 KTS on the runway. I responded with abort action by 75 KTS to an uneventful deceleration and return to the gate for maintenance action. Mechanics lubricated a 'sticky' engine prv and we were off once again. No further problems with the prv on the subsequent takeoff with same weight and power settings. I understand prv and hpsov issues are very common on maximum power takeoffs on this aircraft. I've seen the hpsov twice before; but at speeds over 80 KTS; so takeoff was in those cases; continued. As my relief pilot suggests; it may seem a reasonable solution to plan 'bleeds off' takeoffs when using maximum power to reduce the occurrence of these type cautions during takeoff; as well as a more regular lube of these engine bleed valves.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: B767-300 FLT CREW HAS A REJECTED TKOF AT EGKK FOR L ENG PRV EICAS CAUTION.

Narrative: NEAR MAX STRUCTURAL WT FOR TKOF; 'L ENG PRV' EICAS AND MASTER CAUTION OCCURRED AT 70 KTS ON THE RWY. I RESPONDED WITH ABORT ACTION BY 75 KTS TO AN UNEVENTFUL DECELERATION AND RETURN TO THE GATE FOR MAINT ACTION. MECHS LUBRICATED A 'STICKY' ENG PRV AND WE WERE OFF ONCE AGAIN. NO FURTHER PROBS WITH THE PRV ON THE SUBSEQUENT TKOF WITH SAME WT AND PWR SETTINGS. I UNDERSTAND PRV AND HPSOV ISSUES ARE VERY COMMON ON MAX PWR TKOFS ON THIS ACFT. I'VE SEEN THE HPSOV TWICE BEFORE; BUT AT SPDS OVER 80 KTS; SO TKOF WAS IN THOSE CASES; CONTINUED. AS MY RELIEF PLT SUGGESTS; IT MAY SEEM A REASONABLE SOLUTION TO PLAN 'BLEEDS OFF' TKOFS WHEN USING MAX PWR TO REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF THESE TYPE CAUTIONS DURING TKOF; AS WELL AS A MORE REGULAR LUBE OF THESE ENG BLEED VALVES.
