    well if its overheating then you could do with finding the problem, your thermostat could cause it to overheat if its not opening fully

    it wont harm it if you keep an eye on the temp and dont let it overheat

    but cars with no thermostat usually means the head gasket is gone and they do that to keep the temperature down

    you really need to find out why its overheating, maybe water pump, air lock, thermostat or head gasket
