Hi Just got Morris minor At last, I've only waited 40 years.
So after advice
I need to fit a new heater valve, Can someone advise me do I need to put sealant on the gasket?

Well done, hopefully it was worth the wait. Welcome to the Messageboard, feel free to ask anything about the car, and we'll try to help.

To answer your question: No, just ensure that the mating surfaces are clean and flat and then assemble with the correct gasket.

Not sealing goo on the gasket but just a smear of general purpose grease on both faces.

Thanks for your advice.
That's my job sorted for tomorrow.
