LS8 water valves

Could someone tell me if the delron water valve housing on the LS8 are
treaded or pressed into the wing surface.

They are threaded. You will notice two holes in the rim of the valve
seats. You get yourself and adjustable "pin wrench", put the tips
into the holes on the rim of the valve seat, and unscrew the seat.

Mine were weeping water. I removed them, placed silicone sealer on
the threads, and replaced them. Perfect.

Guy and Eric,
thank you very much for the info. Done the re-sealing on the leaky
valve and will do the other 3 soon.
