running without a t/stat wont cause you to overheat.



People used to run without one all the time, thinking it would make the engine run cooler. In some cooling systems, though, the water ran through the radiator too fast to get rid of the heat it picked up. It would lead to overheating.



How could the water run through 'too fast' ?
