Heater tap yes or no ?
Discussion
As my heating system keeps supplying hot air even with the heater valve closed I am considering to mount the heating tap as shown in the Bertram Hill pages.
However, the bypass loop (via the heater matrix) will be closed. Could this do any harm to the engine, especially when warming up the thermostat is closed? I think not because the heater valve should block the flow in the same way ?
Thanks, Ronald

Steve,
It does have a/c, it does have the later controls (pic!), it's a serpentine, but I don't think it has a bypass, where did TVR put the bypass ?
The idea on a bypass valve is great, I was thinking there must be three way valves available ? This gives the possibility to route the coolant through the bypass or the heater valve, all in one valve.
But still : what if I just shut the loop ? The original TVR way was shutting the loop either (if it was working..)?
