jbooker82 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 What temp does that gauge show as your normal operating temp? That isnt a real accurate way to measure water temp. That small hose doesnt really cirulate coolant. It is there to keep an air pocket from forming in the back of the cylinder head. The coolant that does flow through the hose also comes from the back of the head and has not moved across the hot cylinder head, so the temp will read lower. Match that up with the poor ciruclation through that small hose then you really dont have an accurate reading. If you want an accurate temp gauge then get one that is billit aluminum and splices in to the radiator hose. Splice it in to the upper radiator hose (the one that goes from the front of the head to the top of the radiator), behind the gas tank side cover so you can read the gauge through one of the holes. A mod quad temp gauge would be the best to use if your going to mount it behind the gas tank side cover because there gauge is mounted straight. The ESR one is at an angle. PM alf44 he is a site sponcer and a Mod Quad dealer so he can probably get you one at a good price. http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=123994 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopczynski Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I still haven't seen anything better than a Mr. Gasket Temp cap. It is cheap, easy to install, and accurate. my .02! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
