Subject:      Temp gauge question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


So I was thinking about the situation with my engine that I described to you
all yesterday. My question is this.


If I blew a coolant line that cause a major loss of coolant and the engine
heated up as much as it did - then why didn't my gauge needle rise above
normal? I know it works because in times of waiting in traffic or long idle
times the needle will creep up until the fan kicks in. So if the engine was
hot enough to boil coolant when we poured it in why didn't the needle sky
rocket?

Thanks,
