Mazda temp gauge, overheating, temp sending unit issues....

Ha, the ironic part about that is I get most everything from NAPA as that is where a good friend works. I'll have him get me the 160 thermostat.

haha good deal man.

very good peice of information... i didnt know they needed re torquing, lol well thank goodness my buddy doesnt have his dawg anymore after i did the valve job cuz i didnt re torque it lol

Got the head back today all milled down a bit. He said there was a warp right in the middle where he expected there to be one.

Went to Napa and had my buddy order in the 160 degree thermostat for me so I can install it tommorrow. Also picked up some super black RTV to seal the cap sprocket housing to the head since apparently there is no gasket for it.

Gonna go start cleaning the block surface up real good, and degreasing the head and such while its out to get it extra super clean. Might start slapping it together some tonight so I can have it back together tommorrow night and see what happens.
