Running without a thermostat ok?

Thanks for all the input guys. The thermostat stays then. Good, I didn't feel like changing it anyway. This being my first slant, I'm not familiar with what is considered "normal" as far as water temp is concerned. So 210* is not unusual or too hot?


210 ( if it was there a lot)is a little hotter than i would be comfortable with but im sure somebody else will chime in. im not a wizard at cooling systems ( or anything lol) but i believe as long as it cools off when you slow down or stop then its not really ( what most people would consider)overheating. i am not sure about gutting the stat for restriction but have heard a lot of people do it so maybe and i did not see it above anywhere so maybe somebody will answer that one or maybe they did not answer because its a stupid idea lol

now off to read the above link that i prob should have read before replying lol.
