I just repacked the heater control valve on my TR3A, which, I assume, is
similar to the Spit's. There is a packing nut on the valve stem. If
you remove this nut, you can then remove the old packing and repack the
gland. You can buy valve packing from most hardware stores. You need
1/8" diameter packing. My heater valve took two or three rings - yours
may differ. Good luck!
