    the coolant flows from the intake manfold, to the heater core, then to the water pump but this is irrelevant information. This thread reminds me of an old NIKE slogan... "JUST DO IT!" This is literally a five minute fix, and that's if you take your time. You can do it! :TU: ... and the if the title of the thread was true, you'ld have died long ago ....lol

    now that ive changed out the vacuum valve for a manual one, it seems as though the engine runs hotter....

    could this be because the manual valve is restricting the water flow? the manual opening is not as wide as the diaphragm valve opening.

    any suggestions?

    No. The old valve was closed, right? If anything it would run cooler with the heat removed at the heater core. Is the cooling system full of coolant? You might have introduced an air pocket into the system. This will most likely go away after running it. Recheck the coolant level. The only way to be sure of engine temp is with a gauge but if you haven't had heating problems before I'm sure you'll be fine.

    thats exactly what i thought that the engine would run cooler. i did fill the radiator full of coolant today, it was a little low, not much though.

    my gauge used to run smooth 180 all day now in drive at a stop light it creeps up to 200+, im just worried its going to continue to rise. It aint sitting well with me you know, just because it used to run cooler and now its not.
