pre 88 (valve bolted to block) is push for heat.
Post 88 (inline valve) pull out for heat.

During 88, im pretty sure F reg had push for heat, and G reg is pull for heat, but then again, it could be model specific rather than year during this period.

lol ok that might be my problem. i have been pulling mines out. and mines is a 1987 mini

but also like i said earlier in the topic.. my pipes still feel cold after a run about so i doubt that is my problem

Well yes, If the valve is closed there will be no hot water getting to the pipes, so they will be cold...

if your mini has the heater valve on the head, you need to push the knob on your switch panel in for hot air. although sometimes the valve on the head can get stuck. its a safer bet to physically pull the valve on the head to ensure its out properly.
