Try jamming a thermostat open and running it. If your cooling system is up to snuff the engine will never warm up.
I could argue this till I'm blue in the face and never convince anyone. Bottom line is the thermostat sets the bottom temp for the engine and is there to warm the engine up not cool it or maintain it at the temp of the thermostat except at very cold outside air temperatures. Seems that some people believe the thermostat does just the opposite of what it's there for. Last word.
