Seems like nothing will keep the water in the heater core from getting hot..
I rebuilt the valve, but the water from the lower line seems to still get hot. I'm just wondering of I plumbed it wrong.

That's what I was wondering.
I've been running the new engine with out the heater because the core leaked.
Before I head to Denver I wanted the heater fixed so I had some way of getting heat out of the engine on the passes if needs be.
Boy that heater does heat up just from the return line.
