Agreed about the heat paste.
That stuff has kept me from killing MANY-A reversing valves.
Quite effective.
A reversing valve has a plastic or teflon valve inside and requires 4 connections to refrigerant line plumbing.. all brazed.
This is a LOT of heat in a small area.
It is also VERY difficult to get "between" some of the tubes, so alot of heat is required.
A dollop of heat paste saved me MANY hours of re-work.
