Thermowax Valves NLA - Options going forward?
Hey guys, so if my thermalwax is bad and they're no longer available, are we just SOL?
After opening my thermalwax due to idle issues - I took mine off and inspected it to find wax actually leaking out past the little plastic thing that screws in...now what lol.

So im a little confused. I thought the thermowax valve was this assembly? Is this something else?
Edit: So i may have mispoken, and called the part below the thermowax valve but its actually just a thermovalve (?) after doing a little more digging. Atkins has it listed as a Thermal Wax valve and the part that @j9fd3s is referring to is a Thermowax pellet.

@j9fd3s Do those go bad? Are these operated with vacuum? Does coolant flow through any of those nippels ?
when it warms up vacuum gets blocked, and the secondary plates open.
