Split heater hose

[Twenty]

Hello all

Driving to work this morning my car slit the top heater host where is comes out of the head.  I managed to park it before it got to hot some im hoping there is no damaged.  No milkshake under the oil filler cap nor on the dipstick, fingures crossed.

Any way while i wait for a order of heater hoses to come from BMA can i simply bypass the heater core will a stand length of heater hose?  Connect where the cooland comes out of the back of the head into the plastic pipe under the intake?

Thanks Glenn

I wouldn't do that because a split hose would've introduced air into the system so you will need to re-bleed it.
