Re: 34 heater shut off valve

Posting one of two pictures for Terry, and as suspected it shows that once the valve is closed the capillary bulb is no longer adequately exposed to coolant flow but just sits in a kind of backwater. Answer is to remove the valve assembly and relocate it the forward end of the other hose, and insert the temperature gauge capillary bulb directly into the cylinder head where it will experience the direct flow of coolant in the head.

The pictures you send me by email were too large to post, I reduced the one to 10 x 6 @150 pixels/inch which is a reasonable size for web posting.
