Had a similar problem with my 44 GPW. My brother, the certified racing engine
mechanic, suggested that I remove the thermostat. I did so. The problem was
not solved. Why? Because the thermostat was not the problem. Rust buildup
inside the water jacket of the motor was the problem. It may be your problem
as well. You should always test your thermostat before installing it but I
don't think it is wise or necessary to run your vehicle without one.
