This raises the question "When is the coolant to hot?" The coolant temp
gage is the primary indicator that the coolant is not doing it's job and
the engine is running hot. It the temp needle goes the peg on the high
side, obviously engine is heating up dangerously. What about a situation
where the gage says the engine temp gage says all is ok, but the sensor
light blinks....and yet the coolant level is OK. I have seen that
situation at least once.

My engine melted a piston, and all the gages said all was OK. I am now
getting a new engine. Am I going to have the same problem? Is there
something in the system that has not been corrected and is going to
trigger another failure?

I have real concern here.
