<div>Ira: If I recall my experience with the heater valves in the block
and radiator correctly, I did this;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Remove the valve; remove the cotter pin; remove the small
spring if it is still there. A replacement may be needed if the old one
is not functional. Tap on the end of the valve that had the spring and
cotter pin and it should pop apart. The valve is conical in shape so
constant tension is needed to keep it seated. I applied toothpaste to
the valve cone, put the two parts together, chucked the spring end in my
drill, and seated the the two mating parts of the valve. You can tell
when you are done when both surfaces are bright and shiny with no
corrosion. This would be the reverse of seating in the engine
valves. You are pulling the two surfaces together instead of
pushing. Other abrasive products could be used but the finer the
better. New spring and cotter pin if needed and your valve is as good as
new.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My valve handle was also broken. I do not remember if it was
originally screwed in. I ended up tapping a piece of rod in the hole
with a tight / press fit. It's steel but it won't break and I'm not
going for concours.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I removed the valve and the valve was open, even if the the
direction was not as believed. I took it apart a few years ago. It is stuck
open. Is there a source for the handle? I sprayed it down with stuff to
loosen it up. Will try and see if I can get it to budge. Thanks folks.<br clear="all">
