your really need that thermostat in that engine especially. . The thermostat allows the engien to run at a staedy temp, keeps it from going from cold to hot too fast, It will aslo slow the coolant flow so the heat has time to conduct to the coolant, then transfer that heat when it goes thur the heat exchanger. That thing has an aluminum block, cast iron head, and either an aluminum manifold or cast iron depending on the year model, with all those disimular metals in that engine, it would have all kinds of expansion issues. Most motors run better around 180 anyway, they tend to run marine engines a little colder just to resist preignition and to be on the safe side.
