    so does mine but I suspect it
    eventually will get around to carefully removing the radiator cap and testing the water with cooking thermometer

    my temp gauge is too hard to see in daylight, too much shaddow

    First notch.. Always has.. I thought it was faulty until I took it for a big strap up a hill one night. Made its way to half.

    Mine sits in between 1 and 2 normally...hot days maybe between 2 and 3...but the other day it went max and started spurtin out black shit, thinking wtf? My coolant makes it to minimum in 3 days or less and gives me the shits cause i got to keep filling it up. How long does it usually last?

    Before I did the turbo conversion my coolant lasted maybe 3 years without needing a single top up.. Except for when I did changeovers of course. Used none at all. Same with the oil
