I’m concerned about my temperature reading using the infrared gun, I did a flush with a new 195 T/stat filled the resivour and from the the collar temp sensor to get as much air out when I turn the car on and idle the block reads 204 after I drive it around it’s sits at 242 while the therm housing reads 190 is this normal or am I worried over nothing
