- I am very happy to say that I have a great heater valve on my Rover V8 as installed in my MGB that works like a charm. I suppose it would fit a standard engine too???? I fooled around with several ba

- Well, after putting the old valve back on in hopes that just the gasket had failed, it leaked from the rusty side. Stupid me, I had a brand new valve sitting in a box the whole time. So I just did th

- ~ The US$27.95 ~ for the 360-410 from Moss does not seem excessive but I hear ~ they "suck". I think what "sucks" about them is the pot metal used for the casting. It tends to rot away which leads to

- I'd agree. It seems that as they age they start to weep fluid straight through the casting. Gotta love that pot metal. I read once about some tests performed on a 1920s Alfa race car. They found the
