Nothing to do with his engine... There was manufacturing errors int he valves . MOSS actually replaced many of them and ended up having their suppliers retool. Not sure of the current status.Dan you seem to agree, friend said he has it for 5 years no problems yet.
Maybe his lasted because he said his MGC had rebuilt engine and Radiator?

I have taken a few apart and you can't fix them. The problem is the rubber seal (looks like a diagram) that seals the small control rod. It splits and coolant blows out between the rod & round housing opening. My Tiger's original valve let go at a car show last year. I made a new one from scratch (all brass) of my own design using O-rings to seal it.If someone has cut them apart it'd be nice to know if it's rubber or other failing seals inside.
Wow! Didja build a ball-cock valve?I have taken a few apart and you can't fix them. The problem is the rubber seal (looks like a diagram) that seals the small control rod.
