You need something to regulate the flow of water. If the water does not stay in the radiator long enough to cool down then you have accomplished nothing. You don't want a cold running motor nor do you want excessive heat. I like somewhere around 170 to 190. New cars run 210 to 220 and that is not hot as long as you have water.

I would put a 180 t-stat in it and call it good.
