There are several things to check for overheating. check all belts,,hoses,,and the recovery tank. If the recovery tank is not in good condition,it will not recover antifreeze when engine warms up and transfer it back to the radiator. Next, and the most common problem, is a radiator that is partially blocked internally. Try a good commercial radiator flush,,follow the directions exactly for best results. If it still overheats, have the radiator serviced by a good radiator shop. Make sure you are using a good quality antifreeze/water mix. DO NOT use just water. Antifreeze raises the boiling point of the cooling system,,it is supposed to do that. Remember,,HEAT is the main killer of engines and transmissions. It is worth the money spent on keeping the engine from overheating.

Not necessarily. It depends on the cause of the overheating. Drilling a hole in the thermostat effectively ruins it and you may as well remove it completely. However doing so will have a detrimental effect on the efficiency and life of the engine. Find out why your engine is overheating.
