[Spridgets] Water temp question..

[Rick Fisk]

Temp reading in the head shouldn't neccessarily be much higher than the
reading in the rad.  But it does more accurately indicate coolant temp in the
engine.  If it's reading high you need to find out why.  Check with another
gauge if you have one.  May be the gauge, may be the radiator.
