Heater core bypass? My heater core went out yesterday out of nowhere. I just happened to have a little adapter tube that fits both the 3/4 and 5/8 hose going into the core so Im just going to bypass it for now until I get the time and money to fix it. I know its not an expensive part but Im broke. 
Anyways, the bypass tube fits perfectly except for it crimps the hoses a little. Is this restiction going to affect me in any bad ways? Thanks guys.

As long as coolant can still flow it shouldnt be a problem. I used some parts left over from my tranny cooler install to by pass the TB. If my heater core goes I'll do the same. Just make sure nothing leaks.
