Without sounding too much like a smartass (alright,
too late), how about measuring the temp with a
thermometer?
A tire pyrometer would probably be easiest and
quickest, check at the radiator hose.
Since I do not have access to a pyrometer, I would
probably use a meat or candy thermometer, they are
fairly accurate, cheap, and easy to get.
