Yea that’s what I meant sorry for the mixupCoolant gauge doesn't use the ECT sensor as a reference. There is another small sender on the front driver's side of the lower intake with a single plug on top. That's the sender for the guage.
I know this is old but I haven’t had my car for a while and I was finally able to check the temp of the engine to be able to compare it to my gauge.At the thermostat area intake side.. The stock guages are pretty much idiot lights with levers, they also tend to peg the temp gauge if the keys off and you turn lights on with the poor wiring ford did on them... one it mine sits at 2 bars up to about 210 on an actual gauge before it will go any higher. Only gets that hot after a long drive and parking it to where it heat soaks the coolant when its off like running into a store for a few mins, goes right back to 190-195 when running and driving, still has a clutch fan on it.
Yea pretty much spot on.So does it somewhat line up with this?
Great, good to know. I don’t have any rtv lying around in the garage but I do have a bottle of 3m super 77 spray adhesive. You guys think a little bit of that on that gasket is ok to use?You can use a little RTV to hold the gasket in place on the water neck when you install it.
I wouldn't use that type of adhesive, it's more of a permanent glue, RTV blue works very well.Great, good to know. I don’t have any rtv lying around in the garage but I do have a bottle of 3m super 77 spray adhesive. You guys think a little bit of that on that gasket is ok to use?
Ok, I’ll pick up a bottle of rtv blue tomorrow. Should I just do a little dab of it to stick the gasket to the tstat housing or should I put a thin layer on both sides of the gasket?I wouldn't use that type of adhesive, it's more of a permanent glue, RTV blue works very well.
