Hola amigos:

Thanks for all the replies; most of them against taking out the thermostat.
Main concern was the excessive flow of coolant thru the system.

My question now is: If  I take the center part of the thermostat, will that
be enough to limit the flow ?
If I�m not too concerned on engine�s life is it ok to take it out?

I�ve managed to blow the engine three times in the past year so I would love
to not worry about heating!!!

Please take into account that Gertrudis has a carb, not FI ,and that heater
working is not absolutely necessary (maybe I can even tap it).

TIA
