running hot

my 87 325is keeps running hot took out the thermastat since in miami but still heating up any suggestions

it must have a thermostat for the cooling system to work, without it theres nothing to slow the coolent down and let it absorb heat and or loose heat in the radiator, it's hard to say what is wrong with the cooling system, the thermostat may of died, the fan clutch is another suspect, the radiators on those early cars hardly ever clog up

You'll Want The Lowest Degree Thermostat You Can Find, Use Heavier Oil,(20w-50?), Make Sure The Thermal Clutch For The Mechanical Fan Is Ok, Make Sure Aux. Fan Is Working, Or Hard Wire It To A Fuse/switch On The Instrument Panel And Run It All Of The Time. Good Luck!
