[Healeys] Temp Gauge

[Jim Werner]

I had the same problem on my BJ8 and it got progressively worse.

I found that the capillary tube was shorting against the Overdrive relay and
basically welding the tube shut.

You should check the temp with an infrared gun (Harbor Freight for 30 or so
ucks). Aim at the thermostat housing. Then if you still feel it is off,
emove the sensor and see if there is crud around it. I cannot think of
nything that would cause the needle to have moved. If you don't want to get
n infrared, I can bring one at the next Healey event we both attend. Let me
now where you are headed and I'll let you know if I'm going.

 My temp gauge has lost calibration; it indicates 160deg when it should read
80 (I tried a different thermostat with no change). Otherwise, it seems to be
orking (but reading 20deg low).

 Can the indicator needle be pulled (carefully) off and (re) set to give
orrect temperature?

 TIA,
 Bob
