I think I heard once that our mechanical temp gauges (wiht the sending unit in the block and copper tubing going up to the gauge) can be damaged or destroyed by a block that over heats. Is this the case ? I may have wiped mine out in the latest issue of overheating. It was new and could have been defective ? My motor did get really hot once or twice
