If the heater core is leaking, he is gonna loose coolant so therefore its gonna over heat. Turning the heater on wont help much there. But otherwise if it werent leaking, what you mentioned does work.

So bypass the heatercore. you wont overheat as long as your fluids are full and you fan is functioning properly.

he didnt say it was leaking

Your right. I assumed automatically that it is leaking, since thats the only reason I know of, that would make you want to bypass the HC.

So ocsailor, whats the reason you ask this?
