After looking at the diagrams and photos I find myself getting confused (which isn't hard to do). In the shop manual the diagram shows the valve closes when warm (figure on the right)which would mean a counterclockwise turn from the open position (when cold - figure on left). Denny's photos showing the Butterfly open (cold)would result from a clockwise turn from the butterfly closed (warm)Should the 'closed' and 'open' labels in Denny's photos be switched? Or am I confused about what 'open' means (warm or cold)or what closed means (warm or cold)One of the labels on Denny's photos of the spring says butterfly held closed when cold. And if the valve is stuck, which position is it better to be stuck in-open or closed? (i.e cold or warm)? Mine appears stuck about 1/2 way.

It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.
