Getting hot after Dawes needle and 3"

[mudski]

This has a lot to do with cooling system condition.
In older systems it makes total sense to see water raise with egts. The engine is working harder, and hotter so the water would be heating up..
But if your cooling system is in good nick you may notice nothing.
I've seen 650 on the egts yet water temp didn't budge off the normal 89-91 range. .

Yeah you may, but may not too. The cooling system in mine is better than stock and i see fluctuations. But its a totally different motor so its kinda null comparing mine to this.
Get the egt gauge in first i reckon and it may show us something.
