Actually, I once had a problem with an engine overheating. I took out the 180 (it was brand new) and put in a 190 thermostat. The 190 would slow the coolant down enough to cool off while in the radiator. The 180 was open full blast and the coolant ran through the radiator so fast that it didn't have enough time to get sufficiant air to cool off. Just my experiance. Try that first before you go without a thermostat.
