the heater core coolant lines and the bypass are in parallel with each other no they are not. the only thing in parallel with the bypass hose is the thermostat hence the name bypass hose. you simply dont know wtf you are talking about. agreed you have no idea. but at least i know what the bypass actually does. no you dont. since it is in the lower hose it can feed heat to both the engine and radiator regardless of the position of the thermostat. the part you dont seem to get is most block heaters that heat the coolant do not go in the radiator hoses since thats too large a volume of water to get moving via convection with that small a heater. they use the heater hose and can be plumbed into the block via the drain plug/cock below the cylinder bank. for you to insist on it being the radiator hose shows your ignorance of not only the plumbing but of engine heaters. how much flow do you really think that you are going to get with the convection currents it can create none if its blocked by the thermostat. it is not important anyway since it uses both convection currents and normal heat transfer to do its job and with its location does not need normal coolant flow anyway. it most certainly does. and you wonder why i have the attitude that i do. even if you knew as much as you think you do your attitude is unjustified. max life liberty and the pursuit of any jackass that threatens it. embellished usnavy slogan .
