Per the article I sent you, if you tap the end of the valve inwards, =
it=E2=80=99s almost got to loosen up. But you can expect that the spring =
will disintegrate so you better have another to hand.
New handle? Don=E2=80=99t know. If you get some brass rod that is a bit =
oversize, you can make your own. I=E2=80=99ve not got the space (or =
skills) for a lathe but an electric drill will serve. Hopefully, =
you=E2=80=99ve got a bracket for your drill on your workbench? Or a big =
enough vice.=20
Stick the rod in the drill, switch on and reduce the rod in size with =
files. Using different shaped files, you can even put a little ball/knob =
on the end. Then put a thread on it and you=E2=80=99re set.
I=E2=80=99ve done a couple. They=E2=80=99re not things of particular =
beauty, but they serve and look better than a bolt. Trouble is, no =
matter how nice the handle is, the whole valve is a pretty flimsy =
contraption and, unless appropriately greased and frequently used, =
it=E2=80=99ll probably seize up again.

Ira, The heater valve is open when the handle is in line with the hose =
and closed when 90 degrees to the hose. Your valve doesn't look fully =
open with the handle not fully in line with the hose outlet. I see the =
original handle had to be replaced with a screw. Those brass bat handles =
tended to break off at times where it threaded in to the valve stem. =20

Subject: [Healeys] Radiator flush
Hello all,
Preparing to install my alum radiator. Thought I would flush the cooling =
system.
Which diretion direction does water flow? From block though=20
Shut off vavle into heater core, or through pipe and back into block =
through the shut off valve?
Is my valve in open ir closed position? Heater controls not reinstalled =
yet. Unit get hot so Ill asume open, but want to confirm. Removed =
thermostat to 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 in place.
Im off this week, but the rain gods are laughing at me. So I'm just =
getting everything ready for the sweet spot of having time and sunshine =
so I can 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.
Driving season is fast approaching.
Happy roads and saftey fast
