William, these valves don't last a long time.  Fortunately they are cheap at
list vendors, but they are a pain to replace.

Subject: Heater core valve in front

Got a question on the front heater core valve.  I have it closed but
there appears to be some coolent still getting through the core because
it gets warm in the dash.  Is this usually an early failure mode in the
valve or does the cable that adjusts the temperature just need to have
the length adjusted slightly to insure the valve closes?
