[QUOTE="billrbg, post: 76414, member: 10970"] I spent some "quality time" with this beast today and have reluctantly concluded that I will leave it alone until it leaks much worse. Reaching it from the front means removing several big hoses to the pumps and port block; and after that still not easy. Right now I can only see 5 of the 8 lines that must be going to that control valve. Reaching from the rear, to do the seals with the valve still in-place, would mean doing everything regarding the seals, springs, detents, etc. with some kind of tweezers or tongs. And that would be after removing the alternator, coolant reservoir, battery, and coolant hoses. That valve is just too far forward for me to reach, even doing it blind without trying to get my head positioned to see. Maybe removing the engine mounting screws so that it could be shoved to the left would help... but I doubt it. My thanks, again, to all that tried to help. I hope you don't regret wasting your time on this dead-end thread. Hey, maybe I'll get *lucky* and the engine will die so it has to come out anyway; then doing this valve will be easy! [/QUOTE]
