Fwiw I agree you'll have to remove most of the dash to get to it.

Rofl yep. Good luck replacing the valve...

Also fwiw, I've seen several Mkiv Supras' cooling system components fail (water pump, hose splices, etc.), primarily due to improper maintenance. Ime, the jza80's cooling system components (including parts of the heater core) will only stand up well if your coolant is regularly flushed according to the schedule in owner's manual:

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
