What's your temperature gauge read?

Post by zytariuk »

The needle sits at about 1mm above the half way mark (60%). <P>- Is this normal for a 92' GS? <BR>- What about you guys? Where does your needle sit?

Mine has always sat a little below half way, a guess that makes it about 40%, except tor the time when the water pump went south. After a new pump and timing belt it returned to 40%.<BR> Andy P. 93 GS

Mine reads about 1mm below the half-way mark. That's in a GS in Florida.<P>Sure wish I had a oil pressure guage so we could swap our oil pressures as well. Has anyone added a oil pressure guage? How hard is it?

I used it in my CRX and it did decrease the temperature just a bit. You have to use distilled water with it though.
