I agree--before you do ANYTHING else get a good mechanical temp gauge (or IR thermometer). The factory gauges don't tell you anything meaningful.

Nothing is worse than working to solve a problem that you aren't even sure you have.

And if you DO have a high temp problem, you will need a good gauge to track your improvements as you make changes.
