I know this has been brought up before, I did not have any luck getting on
the archives page, and honestly did not try to hard again.

Heater valve, replaced about 15K miles ago, and what a great time of year
for it to start leaking again. I proubly should not even notice the heater
on because it is so hot outside.

  Back to the old question, is this regular where and tear or is this a crap
part ?

   I have heard it sugested replaceing it with a metal ball valve from the
hardware store. Has anyone tried this ? are there convertion conectors for
the size hose and end fittings.
