Dave, Give it a bit more timing @36 and you'll find it will run a bit cooler. You'll also find your gauge is not reading correctly. I found this out when I put my coolant sensor in a boiling kettle. I measured the resistance at 100c If I remember corectly it was 55ohms. I then got my engine red hot and it was reading 3/4 gauge and I was no where near the 55ohm boiling point of water. More like 95c. So between the 90c middle of the gauge and 95c is 3/4 of the gauge =5c not very linner!! I though I had a overheating issue for years running at I thought 120c.
