Nifty little diagnostic thing. If my block temp raises and my thermostat gauge isn't coming up then the thing's stuck shut. If it's coming up slowly then it's stuck open.
where you got the sensor in the head is the best place for the temp gauge because it is at the exhaust valves which is the hottest spot on the block.
