ac heater control valve,I did talk to Jim Tucker at HEATER VALVES in Cal said 2 months out and only replaces the seal. Anyone else restores them?

I bought the seal kit and restored it myself, but wasn't happy that the valve seal. It didn't seal completely. It allowed some air to leak by under low pressure so a made a new seal out of some rubber I had. And now it seals under a higher pressure and even holds a vacuum. I don't want ANY hot water circulating when my a/c is on.
It wasn't difficult to rebuild. You might want to try it yourself.
 
I'm going to make this thread a sticky. Easy to locate the information next time it's needed. Thanks fellas.
