Subject:which way does the coolant bleed valve line up?
From:Michael J. Sullivan

Dear Listees,

I am confused. Neither Bentley nor Haynes CLEARLY/UNAMBIGUOUSLY show which
way the coolant bleed valve should align. The photo they supplied could be
interpreted either way.

The valve in my 1986 Syncro effectively has two positions.
One like this:

        Front of car

             |
             O
             |

        Rear of car

The other like this:

        Front of car

          -- O --

        Rear of car

So, which way is "bleed" and which way is "normal operation"???
Thanx in advance!
