Subject:      without thermostat?

Hola amigos:

I am in the process of rebuilding my engine after both heads blew.
I am really concerned about high temps so I was thinking of running the
engine without the thermostat.

I know it wonīt warm up correctly but we are having a heat phenomenon in my
country (itīs called "el niņo") whichwill last all year, so the outside
temperature wonīt be a problem.

Can anyone tell me their opinions on running without thermostat?

TIA

Javier
