Have been in contact with Evans as well figured I would send what I sent to them for people here to see as well.
Pulled the thermostat and took it back out (this was per Evans request)
Drove about 6 miles total.
Started the trip around 120 she climbed to 180-185 while driving at 40-50mph.
Turned around and sat for maybe a minute on the side of the road to see if it would rise, it did, I got back on the road with the temp at 220.
Drove 2-3 miles cooled to 210 and turned around again to head for home. Just before entering the neighborhood I was at 210 by the time I drove the two blocks I was at 240 shutting it down as I pulled into my shop.
Gauge rose to 250 after shut off and has started to go back down now 5 min later.
