is that "YES", I can drive the car without the stat and not overheating?

if the wrong stat is used, I was thinking that a percent of the coolant flow was just circulated from the pump, through the block/heads and back to the pump due to the hole in the resector plate. and not going to the radiator.

thus without a stat, the same would happen unless the hole in the restrictor plate was pluged (or the pump not drilled for bypass)

with out the stat, could you notice flow in the swirl tank, increasing with rpms?
