Thread-topic: TR3 Temperature
Oh dear.  That raises another question.  On days when it's in the outside 
temperature is in the thirties driving to work, is it normal for the operating 
engine temperature to run as much as 20 degrees cooler?  It does run at 185 on 
"normal" days.

And apologies to the list.  I don't make it a practice to complain about 
vendors.  Only had the one experience with my gauges,and as has been mentioned, 
that has now been some long years ago.  'Nuff said.

That's where I run mine.  Practical Hints notes that "Under normal running, the 
temperature should not exceed 185F."

But I've sometimes wondered if that wasn't an example of British humor <g>
