Re: Intake mounted water temp valve needed

[Todd Tomason <jayscore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you just can't find one, another option would be to install a ball valve in 
the heater hose.  I've put these in a couple of old cars.  You just open the 
valve in the winter, and close the valve in the summer.  It looks something 
like this:

You turn it a quarter turn to open or close the valve.
