actually no. what was my problem was my dash heater core sprung a leak. my aquahot has lines that run to the dash for defrost and there are aquahot heaters at the drivers and passenger seat ankles so i just wanted to turn off the lines that run to the dash. i did so and the valve at the block in the rear i am referring to started leaking. they only leaked when they were turned off. so i took a short piece of heater hose and put it between the in and out valve on the block and turned them both back on.

the valve that was leaking was in the middle of the block so i would have had to replace them all.

so i took the cheap and easy way out
