Guys and Gals,
My 444 heater control valve blew up today. :( I had pulled the Old Lady out of the garage and the engine had been running for about five minutes (very loud, no muffler installed yet.) My four-year-old son was in the driver's seat. He kept yelling "OIL LEAK" and I couldn't hear him - told him to "HUSH" a few times. When I finally came around to the driver's side and saw the antifreeze all over the floor I shut down the engine and apologized profusely for not listening! That will teach me. Now I need to take off the sound-deadening paper to dry underneath, then re-do. At least I didn't have any other flooring on yet.
Any chance any of you have a new or refurbished 444 heater control valve or a potential source? I don’t want to chance taking one out of the donor car and having the same thing happen.
Thanks in advance,
