hmm not sure.. see i get heat out of the heater sometimes. and when it does . it dosnt stay very long and its not very hot ..

what does that little valve do its hooked up to the 2 big hose that come off the rad .. there at the back with engine though above the engine in the middle and there is this little screw type valve what does it do and what should it be in . another thing i did and engine swap some time ago . but i wasnt sure of the hoses ... from the valve i was talkin about if u follow the bottem rad hose to the engine what should it hook up to the bottle before the thermostat? ..
