If the diaphragm is torn the coolant will get past the valve and will not go into the heater core (when engine is at higher rpms) at low rpms it will drift into the core, providing some heat. You don't need to replace the whole monovalve, just get a "repair kit" from fastlane (Buy Parts) at the top of the screen. It will fix the problem. The part you need looks like this:
