Never believe the temp gage until you check it with your infrared
thermometer or by other means. My temp gage reads a little low and I know
others that read a bit high. Once you know what the temp is you can have
some peace of mind. You either live with the gage or you look at
calibrating the temp gage.

I just dropped a 14" Flex-A-Light off last week at a machine shop to get
the 1" pilot hole. They told me they would hone it out to 1". I, personally,
thought I could do it myself with a drill. I wasn't too far off on my
effort. About 1/8". I remember all of the forces of a rotating mass from my
engineering classes and tossed that fan, bought another, and am paying the
money. All I need is to destroy the bearings in the water pump and
potentially crack my timing cover. I know the mass wasn't that great, but I
am not taking the chance.
I ordered the fan from Amazon. It was much cheaper than Summit. I will get
the fan back tomorrow from the machine shop.
I bought a pulley from Bob Woolridge. Everything is on my car except the
fan. Still running the stock one until the other one is ready.
She still seems to be a not so cool Cat. I have no idea where my kid put my
infrared thermometer. I know the gauge is off by 10 to 20 degrees. It stays
reading at 200 while cruising. Kinda scared to let her idle for too long.
She might cough up a hairball on the garage floor.
