monovalve hack DIY

as my first monovalve has melted few months ago
and second used one had malfunctioned coil I have searched for quick
and convinien solution for MV replacement or " go mechanical " option.

mainly the hacks were hose(S) override and PITA time every season change..
so I came with new solution

1. yank the mv axle out
2. drill a 3.2mm hole in the center of it
3. carve a 4mm thread
4. put a 20mm high screw in it
5. return gadged in the mv body

it works fine in my car,its screwed all the way down (don't overtight)
when I need
some heat I go with 3 ccw,
for more heat I go 6 ccw
for sauna I go 9 ccw.

Why doesn't the whole plunger turn when you turn the adjusting screw?
