Another Overheating Question

[mgm60]

Thanks Alchemy. I'm not running any thermostats and the only obvious thing I have out of whack is the temp gauge now maxing out on me now when it's never done that before. As I said when I tested the gauge to get an idea where it would read at 180 it was reading what I usually see when driving. To get the gauge to max out I had to get my test water temp up to 215 degrees so that's what I assume the coolant temp is in the head. Seems high.
