So the core is bypassed. OK. Go and grab some from BMA. Inlet (from cylinder head) is on the bottom and outlet (to block) is on top. Hopefully, the heater valve and core are functional."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Issue is more likely the rings wearing out. What oil do you run?
Change your plugs and do a coolant flush.

Two hoses go there, one goes to the front of the block, one to the rear. Pic coming up.

This is all speculation without me seeing it. If you want a good additive that may help pick up some Rislone engine restore. It's about $10 though.

The outlet hose should be along the block somewhere. Have a look to see what's going on. The ends are probably just plugged up."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
