It would certainly be inexpensive and easily removed if it didn't help.

Installing a thermostat will slow down the flow problem . The only reason that I don't use a thermostat is , I figure sooner or later it could stick closed .I would really hate to have to remove a stuck thermostat on a hot engine on the road side . After installing an original cap and sealing the leak there I cut down the impeller and solved the problem . I also like the heavy duty 8 fins per inch radiators . Extra fins gives better cooling than the 5 or 6 fin radiators .
