Default Re: No thermostats

Most likely without thermostats the water/coolant will flow through the system too quickly and not spend enough time in the radiator to cool. We have, in a pinch use somewhere around a 1-1/4 flat washer (I think was the diameter, you can measure the id of the hose and match it to the od of the washer) wedged in the water pump inlet to help slow the flow and it actually worked pretty well.
