Re: Anyone else had an MGB heater valve clogged with crud?

It looks the same as several heater valves I have replaced over the years.  I 
think it is a reaction of the alumium valve and the cast iron head.  
Eventually, in my experience, the valve just falls apart.  I always keep my 
heater valve open slightly to keep some water flowing through it even in the 
summer and I replace my valves every 5 years or so just to be safe.
