nah man i've just got the standard guages, so knowing what temp its at is a bit of a guessing game. but you can tell when its heating up. yea i dont really want to mount it directly to the rad as it was expensive. hmm may look into getting a fan shroud made up thats spaced off the rad.
yea ill grab it out sometime this week and give that a go. water pump is fresh, put a new one in when i put the motor in.
