Hi All,
I received my new radiator drain valve from MOSS yesterday. Installed it last night. I was counting on being one of the "lucky ones" that got one that didnt leak.
Thanks to this website and Roger, I only installed a couple quarts of new fluid and let it sit overnight. Normally, I would have just installed all the fluid and started it up!
Anyway, thanks to Roger, and his warning about leaking valves from MOSS... he was right! I got one that leaked!
It leaks from the side spring area of the valve. It doesnt leak at the fiber washer or at the actual drain hole.
It is clearly a defect. I called and reported it to MOSS today and they on top of it!
Hopefully the next batch will have this corrected....
Thanks again for everyones ongoing help in the maintenance and restoration of our Healeys!
