Vents working, then no HEAT aaahh

[HOrnbrod]

Drano did it, then forcing with garden hose finally flushed my heater core! :)

 

Everything re-assembled, Just new pieces of Autozone 3/4" heater hose used, that one vacuum-actuated valve removed. New coolant bottle radiator cap I needed too. Heat works, kind of mellow but it works- huge difference from nothing when its been frigid out.

Thanks for tips guys 1 more problem thread eliminated.

 

Congrats getting your heat back, sort of. Your heater core was probably clogged so long the deposits are calcified in the smaller passages. Since you removed the water control valve, coolant will be circulating constantly throught he core, and it's very possible it might get flushed a little better eventually. Drive it a couple of weeks then do a complete cooling system flush with a good cleaner and the heat will probably get a lot better. :cheers:
