which hose to connect to heater valve
Appreciated if you can advise me on which hoses that the heater valve (PART#: 64 11 1 386 707) be connected to, either to the hose coming from the back of the head or the hose coming in from coolant reservoir. Both heater valve and heater core hoses are all metal in my 1990 BMW 325i. Those hoses were bypassed by previous owner and I just replaced them with a new heater valve and heater core. Thank you in advance. Sorry..I am new the forum.

I wish I had more pics, but that’s all I’ve got. The valve is $10 from home depot. Just takes some clamps and some coolant hose to fab up.
Also, I think making it a straight shot will cause your air to blow max heat all the time. Since AC wont matter in your case I guess it depends if you want to control the heat or have a fan.

@mbonanni
last questions...
i dont have ac but sometimes i enjoy the the blower motor lol...
if i close the valve, essentially im closing coolant flow off to the heater system which in turn would then allow the coolant to just cycle in the engine as if the heater core was bypassed right?
