Man, after you took it apart and cleaned the seat, it still drips? That valve has a mind of its own. It's like it's mocking your DIY skills. You might have pissed off the boiler gods or something. Sometimes these things just decide to be drama queens until you replace them. Home repairs never go easy, do they?

Bro, my buddy had a DENT in his truck's quarter panel, just a single good one. His regular guy wanted to put it on the frame rack and bill for hours. He took it to this old timer who does cold shaping instead. That guy worked it out slow, never heated it, never messed with the factory finish. The repair was CHEAPER and you cannot tell it was ever there. For stuff like that, pulling the whole frame is just overkill and hurts the value.
