I had my 60 TR3A out for a short run around the neighborhood this
morning and when I got it up to temp I brought it back to the garage
and measured the temp using a small pocket thermometer inserted in
the refill neck, which is about 5 inches behind the radiator and
about 10 inches from the water temp pickup, but I would guess it to
be slightly cooler.
I have a metric gauge scaled at 30C, 85C, 98C (no number, just a
tic), & 110C. The temperature pick up looks new (i.e., very clean &
shinny)
I did a check on my pocket thermometer, it read 32F in icy water and
202F in a cup of water that had just stopped boiling.
At 90C on the gauge on the dash, I measured 152F in the filler neck
, est. 160F
At 85C on the gauge on the dash, I measured 141F in the filler neck
, est. 148F
