Hm, that's surprising and counterintuitive. Seems to me, that any heat transfer when you're getting overheated is better than no heat tranfer. > I think Grunff will back me up on this... The way I _thought_ it worked, was first the coolant is just engine and heater core, then when it gets above opening temperature, goes to engine, heater core, and radiator. Dave
