I think the WHOLE thing can be done with four heater valves! One on
each bypass line, one on each radiator line. Use vacuum to close the
bypass valves and open the radiator lines. If you can't get heater
valves big enough (I think the biggest are 3/4") hook two in parallel
on each line -- and, of course, open them sequentially to maintain
better temp control.
