[Tigers] Temp Gauge Reading High

[gharlowe at comcast.net]

Hey all -

 

It's been quiet here so hoping to T-up an easy discussion.  

 

My temp gauge is reading about 25 degrees high.   I noticed it after a shop
installed a new clutch, which required the engine to be removed, coolant
drained, etc., but nothing that should have affected how the gauge reads.
Running on a cool day, temps were reading around 215-220 degrees.  To ensure
I wasn't actually in danger of overheating, I checked various water-cooled
locations with an infrared thermometer.   Highest reading was right at the
water neck/thermostat housing (191 deg F).   The fuel gauge is reading
accurately.  I understand the under-dash instrument stabilizer can affect
both instruments, but in this case, only one gauge is off.  I plan to check
the ground to the temp gauge and clean contact points at the engine sending
unit and at the gauge.   Any other suggestions?  

 

Thanks and I hope all is well out there!
