As I mentioned in a previous post, the gauge seems to settle in at 1/2
scale after 10 minutes or so of running, no matter what the
temperature. Regarding rust in the radiator, none is evident although I
suspect the radiator is a fairly recent replacement. When I replaced
the thermostat housing gasket I did notice quite a bit of rusty scale
under the thermostat, inside the head. How can I tell if there's a
blockage, or if the water pump is pooped?
