The arc sections each have a face / end portion that each seal to the reservoir cover when the viscous coupling is in the disengaged position. To ensure proper location of the arc sections relative to the fill holes, the valve disk is pinned or otherwise coupled to the input coupling assembly in a way that prevents rotational movement of the valve disk.
