Reply to "Running with no thermostat"

1)...first, the thermostats ARE available. Marlin modifies the appropiate base by adding the "hat". yes they are at a premium, but Marlin does have to ~~import~~ acquire the correct bases and machine/install components

2)...just removing the thermostat will result in only a portion of the coolant going to the radiator unless the brass plate is plugged.

3)...with 100% radiator flow, one would expect the temperature NEVER reaching design operating. Being only 10 to 15F less than design results in a significant increase in bearing and piston wall WEAR
