How I bypassed my heater core. Went to the hardware store plumbing section and got a brass 5/8" diameter splicer for less than two dollars (auto parts store next to the hardware store wanted six dollars for a plastic one). Loosened the four hose clamps going to the hoses that were connected to the heater core. Disconnected the hoses from the heater core, used the splicer to connect the two hoses together, then tightened the hose clamps.
