[Healeys] 6 cyl heater tap on the block

[gradea1 at charter.net]

ANTI-SEIZE IS GOOD, BUT FOR WATER, I LIKE PLUMBER'S HEAT PROOF
GREASE..a sticky reddish goo that you use on internal plumbing
fixtures that turn as well, like our brass heater and rad valves. Yes,
you have to disassemble the valve and coat the tapered cone, then
reassemble...works perfect-maybe too good, as it easily moves
position. Hank

	 The last time I had the valve off I took it apart, cleaned it, and
applied anti-seize compound to the tapered shaft. Still works very
smoothly.

	 Your photo made me check. It actuall does say off and on the valve.
Still the lever seems ot be half way between off and on. I have
learned not to fix anything that is working. So, 7:30 it is until it
starts leaking someday.

	 Did I miss the answer to the question? Is it closed in the
counterclockwise position? My BJ8 is open (getting heat) with the
lever at the 7:30 position viewed from the front. It has always been
that way. In US plumbing the heat would be off with the lever
perpendicular to the hose and valve.

	Oh, I should have added: Be careful trying to turn, esp. if it hasn't
 been 'exercised' in a while. The handle is fragile (maybe soak in a
 penetrant first). Also, the valve is spring-loaded, if you can push
it
 in and out a few times may help loosen it.
