[DeTomaso] heater valve

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Sorry, I didn't fully answer your question.  What Ian is talking about 
is the top of the valve, not the internals.  I can't recall exactly what 
is up there, but from the photo I have of mine it looks like a kind of 
compression fitting, though the top of the valve appears to be standard 
pipe thread.  I -can- say it does look like I used some teflon tape on 
mine when I re-assembled.  What it looks like on the inside I couldn't 
say and can't remember.  Perhaps someone else has one removed and can 
speak intelligently about exactly how that top fitting works.
