Yes, it would be. Mercedes thermostats are double-acting valves: they open up one passage (the one to the radiator) and close the other (the one that bypasses the radiator). If you don't do both, circulation will not flow correctly. Wedging open a thermostat is the only correct way to do it. I think Jim Cathey was the one who use a shell casing.
