I'm not an expert on Flatheads, but running without thermostats probably isn't helping. If the "coolant" flows too quickly through the engine (because t-stats removed) the heat isn't going to get pulled out of the block and heads.
Just an observation. Best of Luck. Mike

Any white smoke or sweet smell from exhaust pipes?
