Re: Help me with these 7 project tasks

Quick test on your temp gauge is to ground the sender wire with the ignition on. The gauge should read way hot with the wire grounded. If not, either you have the wrong wire or your gauge or gauge wiring is bad. I have seen idle comp solenoid wires that were about the color of a temp wire and they aren't that far apart either.

On your short pan bolt issue, maybe a PO lost the original and used what he had around.

Another vote for replacing the valve cover gaskets. Replaced mine and went from 1 qt per 1000 miles to still full after 1300.
