when i blew my headgasket my tech gutted the thermostat hhmnmmmm


: : : I just installed (2 months ago) a AA copper head gasket and am running 10 psi of boost and noticed that when Im in traffic the needel on my temp gauge starts moving slowly towards the red zone and when I rev the engine it goes back to the middle!! is this normal ? I know in mustangs that this happens but in BMW"s

: : If you sitting in traffic, then your not using boost, so I would first shoot for flushing the coolant system, check flow, put in new thermostat, etc before worrying about the copper gasket.
