i might be mistaken jason, but wouldnt the engine run cooler without the thermostat? the point of a thermostat is to stop the flow of coolant to the radiator, allowing the motor to heat up, and then to open at whatever the set limit is, so the water tempurature wont go any higher than normal operating temp, i.e. 160 or 180 degrees,
but i dont noe what kind of problems (if any)
there would be with running the motot cooler, like metal expansion with heat, etc.
P6'38, if u do install the thermostat be sure to install the thermostat bypass, its there to prevent hot spots inside the block, which can do damage to your valve seats
