I have been trying to get my freshly rebuilt mep-802a to show some temperature. The engine was completely rebuilt and has a new thermostat and water pump and I have fresh coolant in the system. After running without any load for about 15 minutes, the gauge is only reading about 110 degrees and I can confirm this with an IR sensor and by touch. The upper radiator hose does have a little temperature (the 110) but the lower hose is pretty much cold. I had the radiator flushed and patched a few cracks.
How long should it take to come to temperature with no load? I am thinking of pulling the thermostat (Stant 4535
to see if that is the issue but i am not even at a temp that it should open.
