Bleeder valve

[DFigueira]

Hi there,

Im wrapping up my R4 (R6 845cc engine) but I am addressing some issues - One of them being the coolant bleeder and its system.
I have all hoses connected and the heater too. I've blocked the head passage (the water exit) and the carburetor passage is also blocked (its gone but its ok here on Portugal).

Ive managed to bleed air but right now the bulkhead exit/bleeder is literally a screw just to make it work. I'm wondering what people have used since the valves for R4-R6 are expensive and Im not looking for originality.

Also, for those that have blocked the head coolant exit, what did you used?

Thanks

Is that site still functioning behind the scenes? Doesn't even has postage costs. But essentially that's what I need yes

I just need the bleeder (I already have the hoses etc connected). If you do buy it, count me in. If you prefer, I can pay it in advance.
