I removed the valve and the valve was open, even if the the direction was
not as believed. I took it apart a few years ago. It is stuck open. Is
there a source for the handle? I sprayed it down with stuff to loosen it
up. Will try and see if I can get it to budge. Thanks folks.

Is my valve in open ir closed position? Heater controls not reinstalled yet=

o help water flush ststem easier. Im going to add extra hose and splice in =
a water hose bib. That way I can remove it and put system back=C2=A0in plac=
e.<br>
Im off this week, but the rain gods are laughing at me. So I'm just get=
ting everything ready for the sweet spot of having time and sunshine so I c=
an back the car out of the garage and flush the system. I plan to drain the=
anti freeze and fill with flush chemicals and water when I'm ready to =
flush. Bought new anti freeze for my new radiator.<br>
Driving season is fast approaching.<br>
