Nope. Not near as much as having that snap while you were on the road.

Yep. Otherwise you will have a vac leak and that can cause all sort of
wonky things.

Ok. :)

...seriously.. It's failure to ask questions that is bad. :)

Might I also assume that the inside of the Jeep will get a bit warm
without the valve in there? If that is the case I'm thinking of just
looping the hose from the thermostat around to the water pump until I
can replace the valve. What do you think of that idea?

Thanks.

If you don't feel like replacing the valve, know that you could let
it flow all the time and be just like the newer cars. Or you buy a hand
operated valve for it to make sure you car is not heated in the summer:
