re: heater controls

I had mine jam up on my spit this past summer.  A few weeks ago, I started
investigating the problem, and found that the valve itself jammed.  As I was
gently forcing the cable, a metal cylinder(bushing?) fell out of the bottom
of the valve.  Can this thing be put back in, or is the valve toasted.  I t
doesn't seem to be leaking at all.

Thanks in advance,
