Re: pluggin heater core hoses

Yes you can bypass the heater core, at least I have with no problems on my SOHC JDM D15B on my old car (the heater core valve was leaking). You will loose coolant and likely get air in your system while doing it, so after you do it a coolant top-off will be called for and you should bleed your coolant lines.
