This is true, and for this reason, I agree with blocking the heater core hoses instead of looping them.

To block, you can just add anything solid to both hoses. No need to cut. Even a piece of wood dowel will work.

An even more ideal option, though, would be to control the bypass flow using the CRX's flow control valve (attached to the firewall).
