Not sure how you made the "bypass", but if you just blocked it you are starving your rear head of some coolant. The coolant through the throttle body is calibrated with another passage in the LIM to deliver the right amount. If you stop one, you've reduced the amount of coolant reaching the rear head.

True but not a big deal. You can just remove the side cap on teh LIM and knotch it so more goes through that way, that's what I and others do to compensate for that.

Yes, I forgot to mention the solution. But, doesn't that require removal of the LIM so you're not getting shavings into the cooling system?
