You might want to consider putting the thermostat back in place. Running without it can cause the coolant to flow through the radiator too quickly to cool sufficiently and lead to a hot running condition. The thermostat restricts the flow, enabling the coolant to spend more time in the radiator to cool off before being drawn back into the block.
