03 Montero Sport won't blow heat...at idle
03 Montero Sport...it only blows heat after driving for several minutes. I started the MS 25 minutes before leaving the house. when I get in the ride it is still blowing freezing cold air. almost immediately heat come out, however if I stop, it goes cold! any ideas. I am thinking maybe heater core or clogged lines to heater core!?!?! am I on the right path?!?!?!?
thanks in advance

Sounds like a clogged line/heater core. Cannot say for sure as you do not provide much in the way of information - mileage, coolant change schedule, type used, etc. I would hate to think that it is a failing water pump.
Have you tried looking at the Montero sport factory manual?

Sounds like you got an air bubble. Let the car cool down, open the bleeder and remove the radiator cap. Add coolant until coolant starts coming out the bleeder hole. The bleeder is on the engine right next to where the radiator hoses go into the engine. It's a short 12mm bolt with a black plastic sealing washer. Start there and see if that helps.

any tips on Valve cover gaskets?????
#7
Best tip with valve cover gaskets is don't over torque the bolts or you will crush the v/c and it will leak every time. Remember you are going to need 6 tube seals and a intake plenum gasket. Just snug them up until the bottom of the v/c is down against the cylinder head. Be prepared to spend some time digging the old gaskets out of the valve covers, some of them can really be baked in there. Replace spark plugs while you are there, and if the plug wires are soaked with oil put new mitsubishi wires on. The aftermarket ones work there way out of the plug holes over time and cause problems.
