Engine Cooling Function
Because the heater core cools the heated coolant from the engine it can act as the radiator of the engine. If the radiator is working improperly, the operator may turn the heat on in the passenger cabin, resulting in cooling the engine coolant and then cooling the engine. This idea only works to a certain degree, as the heater core isn’t large enough nor does it have enough cold air going though it to cool large amounts of coolant significantly.

“So God stepped over to the edge of the world
And He spat out the seven seas;
He batted His eyes, and the lightnings flashed;
He clapped His hands, and the thunders rolled;
And the waters above the earth came down,
The cooling waters came down.”
—James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
