BJSZED Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I haven't pulled my heater core out yet but it's leaking. While I do this I'm going to change the heater valve and hoses. My question is, should I get an aftermarket core and valve or stick with OEM? I'm keeping the car long term and don't want to pull it again. Is a factory new unit the way to go, seeing it's been sitting in a warehouse since the 70's and would the seals be dried up in the new valve if it's been sitting around on a warehouse shelf for the same time? I haven't had much luck with getting rad's worked on so prefer new as opposed to fixing what I have. thanks, and any input appreciated.

jacky4566 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Well the first thing would be to figure out if the heater core is leaking or the valve. You might not need to touch the core as they were build fairly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSZED Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Sorry, if I wasn't clear in my post but the core is leaking. It's not out but is leaking. The blower motor box is out and have seen the leak with my boroscope. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
