Oh, I know, but the big thing is (and maybe this shoudl be posted in the thread about Porsche engineerign mistakes), the "operating" portion of the gauge is way too small. I have not located my numbers, but the "red" area on the gauge is already WAY too hot for yoru car. If the tiny numbers are correct (and I believe they are) your engine is overheating at about the second mark. The operating temperature range (180 to 250 I suppose) is only about 3/4 inches wide on the gauge.
Oh, I almost forgot. I have another concern. If I cannot seem to get my trombone thermostat to heat up, then when will I change the oil in those lines? I'd like to, at least occasionally, warm up my trombone (go ahead, tog, have at it). In this way, that oil gets into my engine. It's probably clean oil.
