I just installed the IPD temp. compensator bypass on my 89 240.Its funny since I bypassed the compensator circuit board the temp gauge, that use to ussally read around halfway now reads about an 1/8th inch from the red or warning/danger zone. I wonder if origanally the engineers screwed up with there design, and instead of rectifing the problem they just added this circuit. I could not trust the gauge any more so I installed a cyberdyne digital read out water temp gauge.I noticed on average that My gauge reads any where from 189 degrees farenh. to 200. I left my orignal gauge hooked up, and it reads 1/8th inch from the red zone. I was wondering if any one knows the engine water temperture that is considered not safe for the engine?
