I plumbed mine to return to the water pump after running with it

capped

for 100 hours and after reading of George's improvement. I saw no
difference in the overall coolant temps. I cannot monitor the rotor
temps individually so maybe their temps are closer balanced now but I
saw no overall change.

Soooo... If we want heat, we almost need a diverter type valve; either

it

goes through heater core or it goes back to pump?

I'd use the same setup as the car.  Just a valve in line with the heater
connection.
If I had a heater core in the plane, I'd like to have a diverter in the air
outlet of the heater so I could dump the hot air outside and use the heater
as extra cooling during takeoff & climb.
