I installed a Vernier Calorstat 88'C thermostat after testing it outside of my microwave. I pressure tested for leaks (none) and burped the coolant (very little air), then drove it until the engine got warm last night and this morning. The thermostat housing reads 160'F with my IR thermometer, engine fully warmed.

The temperature gauge is pretty constant, but the needle center is about 3mm from the white dot in the middle of the temperature gauge. Is this normal or a cause for concern?
