When I used to live in Africa I always used to remove the thermostats from my cars in the summer. Do it and you should have no problems. Make sure the radiator is clean as often they block up with dirt.
Ja.

Answer 2

It will take a long time to get up to operating temperature or may never get to it. Good way to diagnose though.
