Re: thermostat help
No, actually it would probably overheat. With no t-stat there is no restriction. You need that restriction to back water up in the radiator so that it has time to cool off. Without the t-stat the water will just keep circulating at a rate where the fan(s) cant keep up and you will wind up running hot.
