Thanks everybody, this is interesting. Seeing the gauges go up to about 180 and then dropping is just what I'm NOT seeing, as I did see with the other engine. I believe I'll take the advice to pull these stats out and do something. But the engine is so pretty right now! Not a single drop of stray coolant anywhere after about 30 miles on it and now I gotta make a big dam mess.

That first engine I mentioned, I had a brand new TO bearing from a trusted parts seller go out after 70 miles, so this was the excuse to pull the whole works out. That engine is soon to go in my 46 pickup.
