Running without a thermostat ok?

no thermostat lets the water run too quickly through the radiator for proper cooling leading to water that hotter than it should be back into the engine. Like another poster here said, at least gut a thermostat to replicate the restriction to slow the flow

I keep trynnna tell you this. It ain't true. If an engine overheats without a stat it is NOT because "it goes through the radiator" too quick. However, you are right in one respect.......a stat, a good one, should be in place.
