I'm sure there was a method to their madness.

The water cooling system seems to be more than adequate, I've yet to see the coolant temperature move one ... um ... dot? It would be nice to know what temperature these markings represent, my normal temp is the dot left of center.
That's what I was thinking.....scratch that idea...
On water temps, I have a scangauge hooked up and the water temp usually runs 182-186 degrees for what it's worth (not up to temp in this pic). I haven't corellated that to the "dots" as I find that (poor excuse for a) gauge rather useless...:-)
