UH-OH!!!!

That coolant loss episode Friday may have left Ol' Red with some engine
damage after all. Took him out on a run today with the rear heater hoses
clamped off and the engine ran perfect - EXCEPT - the temp needle ran
with the bottom of the needle on the top edge of the little light or
down so the bottom edge of the needle split the light. However it's cut
- for Ol' Red that's running hot. For fourteen years it's always been
the other way - top edge of the needle splits the light or the top edge
is just touching the bottom of the light. The only way I was able to
cool it down on this run to CENTER THE NEEDLE OVER THE LIGHT was to turn
on the the front heater full blast. Even then, on a long uphill grade
the needle tended to creep up. And this was a relatively cool day.....

This is not good!!

More checks tomorrow. I'm open to suggestions.
