In that case feel free to nail it!! If you had rebuilt the engine then you would be advised to run it in for 1000miles.

temp guage sender would cause the gauge to not read. about 12£ for a new one, or try the connection first. bit of emery paper and wd40 on the terminal.
dunno about the poor running. could be the collant temp sensor right next to the temp gauge sensor in the thermostat housing.
sorry about the bird.
