Tony,
Thanks, I believe I cautioned that with the valve closed the recirculation pump would not be able to pump. I did, however, add an additional caution to open the valve at 190'F, thanks.
cheers,
Michael

If you want to do something manual (aka quick and dirty), you can just take both hoses off the heater core and connect them together with a pipe nipple and clamps. No danger to engine.
Again, nice write-up!
