Also the fact that just by reading a plug is not always the best way to tell how a engine is running; blue smoke trail and temps also play a key factor here usually....
Well all in all said..you are some what right..But there a lot of temp device's that are off by the numbers ,not accurate..I have seen the off by 20 to 30
dergees...If you use one then use the same one..and like I said for ref..You can use the old water or spit test on the cooling head..1 drop of water or spit
on head count to 7 your ok...any MORE number your in trouble..Too HOT.. Is still your best bet Is good blue smoke and learn how too read a glow plug..
