Keep in mind that gauges are usually designed so the needle is in the middle of the range at optimum. You may not be getting hot at all.

I added an aftermarket temp gauge. In the winter you can see the thermostat opening and closing!!! In the summer mine will creep above 180* in traffic and after shutting off the engine, but doesn't go over 205.

Many factory thermostats were 195*.

Yea I saw it was a 195 therm and went with a 180 therm... Vegas is hot and I had already pissed antifreeze everywhere so I'd rather try and run a little cooler. Until the cooling system and engine is up to par.

Here's more pictures of my leaks exhaust manifold bolt it looks like and the rear of the valve cover .

I may paint the valve covers while I have them off, but I'd love me some like this! PS what are the large breather hoses for? The hose on mine isn't connected to anything ...
