On some engines depending upon the design,it is not a good idea as it can cause hot spots in the head by not having the restriction of the thermostat in place.Typically it will happen the farthest away from the stat housing in the head.Circulation is too fast in this case.Actually it can cause an engine to run even hotter without the thermostat as it doesn't give the fan and radiator time to adequetely cool the coolant.
