New valve is on its way. Hopefully this is the end of this issue.

Interesting side note - while pressurizing the chamber I notice a drop in the coolant level which immediately rebounds upon releasing the pressure. Water is a non compressible fluid, so what gives? The hoses maybe expanding? Anyone else ever notice this?

Proper testing gives a proper diagnosis once again
Yes I have seen coolant level drop when pressurizing systems.
Hose expansion along with the small amount of air between coolant level and the top of the tank that is compressing.
