    Hi everyone,
    I have an idea and would like as many opinions as possible, regardless of the Lambo you own. I currently drain the cooling system from the plugs in the block and would like to install threaded 1/4 turn valves.

    Does anyone know what type of threaded nipple and valve can be used, so different metals don't cause corrosion?
    Can the seat in the valve handle the heat from the block and headers? What type of valve should be used to handle the heat?
    The handle could be removed, or if its metal it can be wire tied to prevent unwanted opening.
    I don't know if the threads between the block and the valve can be adapted
    easily to fit in the tight quarters.

    Can anyone offer any ideas how this can be saftly accomplished?

    Thankyou!!!

    2NA, I just rewrote the question. Sorry, I tried to link it but it obviously threw it back in my face. You were just to fast, it should appear writen out now. Thankyou!

    If it makes a difference, I own a 89 C/T., just realized I never mentioned it in first post.
