NAA Thermostat

Frank Newman	The prior owner of my 53 Jubilee removed the thermostat, the temperature runs in the low side of the green in the winter and to the high side in the summer. I’ve heard that removing the thermostat doesn’t really make the engine run cooler in that without the thermostat the coolant passes through the radiator too rapidly to allow for proper heat exchange. Is this correct?
Bob G	Don't know if I am right, but I was always taught that the thermostat is there to get the collant up to the correct operating temp. Never thought it had much to do with cooling.
dan hill	Friends and used a Model A Ford to power a cord wood saw.The radiator started to boil in a short time.This was in December.I talked with 3 fellows who had A powered cordwood saws, all said put in a thermo stat.I put a 150 degree thermostat in the top hose.We could saw wood all day with no boiling.We used the cutdown Ford for work with no boiling in warm weather with no problem with out a thermostat.My Ford 600 had no thermostat when I bought it.I put one in.Never had any overheat problems.The lack of forward motion probably made the Model A boil, plus the 2 blade fan didnt help.
