Seeking opinions from the list:
My Spitfire usually runs hot anyway and during the summer months
(northern Virginia) it seems every hotter. The temp gauge is usually
closed to the red line but not past the normal mark. I am planning on
taking a trip about 200 miles away and was wondering what would be the
harm in taking the termostat out and not replacing it for the summer or
for just the trip??
I would think that the normal heat of the outside air with the water
running all the time, that it might just stay at a temp that would not
hurt the engine particularly in stop in go traffic.
