Al:
The heater valve is a likely culprit. They can be disassembled
by drilling out
the pop rivet, twisting them apart, cleaning, and reassembling with a
new pop rivet.
They are prone to clogging from rust, etc. Might consider a cooling
system flush to get rid of any scale so that it does not happen again.
A better way to fix a leaky radiator is by soldering it with a
torch and pipe solder. Works great.

Subject: Help! No heat
Listers,
I have replaced my thermostat and drained and refilled the system with
no
success...still no heat from the heater core. Please don't tell me that
the core needs to be replaced! All my hoses are hot to the touch except
the two hoses going into the fire wall & heater core.
All this foolishness started when I experieced a pin hole leak in the
radiator and dumped a bottle of Bears Leak sealant to plug up the leak.
It worked but the heater failed. Is there a connection here?
