for some reason this doesn't seem like a good idea to me. These engines are designed to run at a certain temperature, that's why the thermostat is there. While an engine running to hot is definately not good it is equally not good to run it hard at too low of a temp. This is why you should always warm up the engine before running it hard. I don't remember the specifics but I do remember my IC Engines teacher explaining to us why it's not good to run any engine without a thermostat.
T-stat Delete kit
G
Sledhead Racing and Smittys Speed Works has teamed up and made a slick T-stat Delete kit for the '03 to '06 600 and 800 series engines, probably others too!
What do you get for 39.99 shipped?
You will get a new T-stat insert, block off plug, gasket, hose clamp and instructions, for those that don't trust themselfs!
lowering coolant temps will almays make more HP/TQ.....plus the added safety
of this kit eliminates (sp) the possibilty of the stock T-stat failing and
causing engine damage!! Just remember to allow a little more WARM up time when first starting out the day, or after a long break!!!!!!!!
Here is the kit, minus the hose clamp as of right now,

No offense, but it doesn't sound like a good idea to me either.

[/quote]Why do you need to block off anything ? Cant you just gut the thermostat or use an ''o''-ring?

The stock stat has a disc that restricts the bypass line.. the bypass bleed plug serves this function...
The bypass allows coolant to bypass and flow when the stat is shut.. you don't want it bypassing at a large rate when the stat is open. But you need a small hole so that air will bleed out of the system and back to the coolant bottle.
