Thx all, i think its running well now...

yea u read right no thermostat

everyone seems to think that it would have trouble getting hot with no thermo, not overheating...

 

No thermo = engine runs cooler. The thermostat is just a valve that doesnt let coolant flow between engine and radiator until X degrees. No thermostat, bigger passage for coolant transfer (though that may make no difference because its sent by the water pump) and coolant ALWAYS flowing between engine and radiator.

 

well then what is the heating problem?

 

i heard.. never personally tested this theory out if you wanna call it that. what i once read on here is that there needs to be a thermostat or the coolant doesnt circulate through the radiator i believe.. naturally youd overheat. the reverse-flow cooling systems work a little differently than people think.
