Unless it's cold where you are, as a Temporary ban-aid, I would consider
removing the thermostat to eliminate that extra little restriction that it
causes (replacing used gasket with a new one). Always a good idea to replace
a thermostat before it fails anyway.

Running the heater also helps a lot. Unfortunately, it also makes it hell
inside the vehicle (unless it happens to be winter) but it is better than being
stranded.
