Default temp gauge.

I was just wondering where my water temp should be on the STOCK gauge, like what should it normally hit and where should it not pass.

On the stock gauge, the needle should be from 1/4 to 1/2 of the way up. Think of your gas gauge and then reverse it.

Default RE: temp gauge.

mine is usually under half but sometimes if im on it hard it will get to half, but never over it. So hopefully thats fine. Im going to install a new water temp guage and oil guage and probably a fuel pressure guage in the car. Soon, thanks guys.
