Nigel Mulvey Posted May 11, 2002 Share #1 Posted May 11, 2002 Because I can't get to the parts shop to buy the parts I need for my carb swap without a car and my car isn't working because the carbs are misbehaving (I think). I thought I'd have another look to see if I could identify the starvation problem because it seems to be intermitent (see my other postings). Anyway when I started the engine one of the water inlet hoses to the heater inside the car split and I now have half an inch of water in the bottom of my Z.My question is: Will by-passing the heater by linking the in/out hoses to/from the block cause any long term problems. I only need to drive the car a couple of miles to get it to my mechanic's to do the job for me. Not happy!!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ManyZs Posted May 11, 2002 Share #2 Posted May 11, 2002 Won't hurt anything to bypass the heater core at all. You could just run the hoses into one another or block them off completely. I plugged the hoses off on my IT car and ran it that way for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
