As is my car gets pretty hot, pretty quickly... and to make matters worse I think my thermostat is starting to stick ----- will run at around 160* most of the time but once in awhile, like today, the temp will just keep going up and up.

What I'd like to do is just to run w.o. a thermostat - to do this, will I need a blanking sleeve? Or would I be able to just pull the thermostat out, get another gasket and put the housing back on?
