Are you suggesting that I test the thermostat opening temperature by boiling it and seeing what temperature it opens at? As mentioned in an earlier post, I've done that and it opened at 82C while heating it in water on the stove.
Also, as I mentioned in the original post, I have verified the cylinder head temperature with an IR thermometer and an additional instrument cluster, which reads exactly the same. I specifically went and dropped $60 on an IR thermometer just this week so I could confirm that my gauge is working right. There is only about a 1 degree difference between the gauge and the IR thermometer.
If I'm not understanding your suggestions, or if I'm not being clear, please let me know.
Thanks.
