Has anybody messed with the heater water control valve for a 1275 engine? Mine is leaking at the stem and at the bottom where the valve screws into the flange. There is no apparent leak where the flange bolts onto the head. Is it typical to just repair/repack the valve stem and do something to seal the bottom of the valve where it screws into the flange or is it better to get a new one from MOSS? They run around $35 to $40, so that's not a big deal, but sometime the replacement product is worse than the bad original. That is not ment to be a slam on MOSS, just that after market parts are not always what they could be. The valve I am talking about is shown on page 20, Ill. No. 9 in the MOSS Spring/Summer 2009 Cat. Any experence with this?
Thanks
