When I drive the temp guage flies from one end to the other and vibrates all over the shop. Can't see a pattern with it while driving... other than its off the clock on idle.

I changed the rocker cover gasket before it started happening so I assume the temp sensors connected to that? Can anyone help?

i have never seen mine go above 95. And that was in 40degrees heat in that heatwave. I was dead impressed with that. It sits at 90 all day long, regardless of speed, AAT etc etc
