First my heat valve (manifold) flew apart, literally.
It broke in two and the 3 other ports fell apart upon removal.
The new heat valve leaked and now the replaced new valve leaks.
The leak is where the shaft that turns the valve goes into the assembly.
Is there anything that I'm missing that may be obvious or am I just having
bad luck with parts?
At this point, I'd prefer to just bypass the &$*(#* thing, but I'm heading to
the Northwest soon and temperature may be a factor.
