Have to disagree with you. If you remove the thermostats the engine will run hot or overheat as the coolant will run thru the radiator to fast for the heat to be removed. I've seen this several times over the years. Friend of mine decided he was going to race stock cars several years ago. He bought one and asked me to be on pit crew. He had done some work on it himself and the first night out it overheated on hotlaps. He couldn't understand why as he had removed the thermostat so the coolant should be flowing well thru the radiator. I found a washer with a 5/8 hole in my truck and put it in place of a thermostat and problem solved, it ran cool. I have also seen it on trucks mainly were they were starting to run hot because of a bad thermostat or plugging radiator. Guys would pull the thermostat thinking the increased flow would aid in cooling but all it did was change a running hot condition to a boil over condition. The thermostats serve two purposes, allow the engine to warm up to a operating temp and also to slow the flow of coolant to allow time for the heat to transfer to the airflow thru the radiator.
