Chassis heat problems

[Don Bradner]

My concern is that the front valve may be the plug in the loop, if it is not
opening. Temperature of the engine is not an issue - I ran it at idle today up
to about 160 so that I would have it warm enough to be sure to feel the heat.
All lines stayed cold, including the top of the pump, until I allowed the pump
to run open via the dismantled Sporlan. Only took a couple of quarts of coolant
spilled to heat up everything through the pump to the valve.
