Honestly, I think having it on is more likely to cause problems. The normal water flow is through the head and down into the block. By tapping out of the head, you are reducing the flow around the #

I turn the tap off in May and open it up late Sept, I couldn't imagine driving with the heater core live in the meat of the summer. Cabin heat (even when the engine isn't reading truly hot) is the o
