Reply to "Temp Gauge Readings"

As suggested, you can verify the accuracy of the gauge with an IR Temp gun (best method) or with a meat thermometer (poor man's method - it's what I used!)

On a related note, where is your sending gauge? The stock location is in one of the coolant tanks, where the temperature isn't necessary a perfect reflection of the temp in the block. Or put another way, I don't care what the temp of the tank is, I really want to know what the temp of the block is. If you have a coolant leak, for example, you may eventually read air temperature and think everything is fine, when in fact your engine is slowly melting down.
