[TR] TR3 Heater valve

[rjray.architect at gmail.com]

Folks,

The heater valve that attaches to the back of the cylinder head was leaking.
I took it apart and discovered a few things that confuse me.

First, when I remove the outer core from the brass housing that screws into the cylinder head, a cup-shaped piece, that appears to seal of the flow of coolant, remained in the brass housing.
I remove the cup-shaped piece. Should this piece be attached to the end of the stem that moves up and down when the handle is rotated?
If so, the only way I see to attach it is with some silicone sealant.


Second, when I removed the inner core from the outer core, it appeared that there may have been the remains of a black rubber washer inside the upper end of the outer core, but whatever it was, was too deteriorated to know for sure.

Is there supposed to be a rubber washer/seal there?



I found a rubber washer that I could use if the washer is needed. Or I could use Teflon packing material around the void between the inner core and outer core, and then scree in the top brass fitting.

 

Attached is a picture of the disassembled parts.

The cup shaped piece, that was left in the brass housing, is to the far left. The operating stem, that it may attach to, is the long piece just to the right.

The blank junk was inside the top of the second brass piece from the right.

The far right brass piece screws into the second brass piece from the right, and over the operating stem..

 

Thanks.

  Ron
