update:
Received my infared temp gun, and measuring at the temp sending on manifold, 150-160 at idle for the first 5 minutes or so. At this point, my outlet hose is cold, and inlet hose is hot. At 180, the thermosat opens and the outlet measure around 6 degrees higher than the inlet.
Drove the car for about 10 mins, let it idle for another 5 minutes, reached 210, and sits at 210. If i turn the car off, the car does not cycle its water, and temps were record at around 215-220 while off, it cools down to about 180 after 10-15 mins.
Btw the gauge reads the same as my temp gun.
Should be getting timing gun in the next few days, will measure the timing to see whether i am too adv or reta., or neither.
