are you going from the standard gauge or an aftermarket one?
the standard ones rarely move past the standard position unless temps are off the chart

Dont depend on standard gauges! not accurate at all unless as said above its off the wall boiling!
stock gauge is not worth a fuck mine sits around 1/4 way all the time and the temp reads between 70-80 on the hand comander and the same on my greedy temp gauge
did you try bleeding it out and then drive her on again, get a coke bottle cut it in half wrap a few laps of insulting tape around it till it fits tite in the top of the rad(a good water tite seal) crimp the expansion pipe, and fill the bottle to the top run the car nd open the 10mm bleed bolt (behind the cam angle sensor on head) let it bleed out till no bubbles come out but do not let the bottle go empty
could da thermostat be stuck closed??
give that man a cigar!!;)Quote:

anyone running without a stat? or can you get them in the factors??
you can get them in any good motor factors or else you can take the centre out of it but leaves the engine running a ta cooler so it might be a few horses down on power
