Tom, the position of the slot in the end of the heat riser shaft (slot that holds the spring) will tell you if the valve is open or closed. Here's an old sketch I made years back.

Hi Tom,
Glad to see that you've sorted the overheating problem at last. Many thanks for posting the strip down procedure of the rad, very informative. I am hoping that mine will improve even more during the season but if not I will use your procedure to pull mine for a re-core. Regards Terry

While using a engine hoist certainly makes it easier, it isn't necessary (though the unit IS heavy). When I did mine, we swiveled the two headlights slightly outboard and 2 guys simply lifted the assembly up and out, and reverse to reinstall. But you do want two pretty beefy guys!
I did mine to replate the shell and repaint the shutters, the radiator itself was in fine condition.
