Yes. Because the heater is a heat exchanger giving up heat to the air being blown across it. But if you have to do that there is a big problem with your cooling system.

oh its a biggie.lol. my heater has saved me from ruining my engine.lol.what a croc.maybe its not the miniature fan and radiator that drops the temp when your motors fizzlin water at the radiator cap but rather the small dammed up water reserve that flows when you open the heater valve nonetheless ordinarily if yourve got to rely on your heater to maintain a working engine temp your probably a ford owner.lol

The heater will cool a engine only if it is one that turns the water of at a tap. Some have constant water though the heater core so would not make a huge difference.
