hi, can these 'pipe mounted' circulators ensure that the coolant in the block is heated? If so how do they bypass the thermostat?

If they only heat the coolant from thermostat to rad, then they wouldnt speed up the time for the block to get to operating temp?

With a block heater as the OP has suggested, you'd be heating what needs heated?
