Hey guys, i'll try to keep it short. I went to the track last night and got 5 passes in, on the last one I broke loose at the top of second and wasn't able to let off before it wound out to about 7k rpm. Shortly after, the temp gauge went up to 250 before I shut it down. I checked for leaks, didn't find any. There's plenty of coolant in the resevoir, I checked for traces of coolant in the oil and didn't find anything. That was about all I could do at the track, so I'm having it towed home. Besides checking the thermostat, and seeing that everythings bled properly, what else can I look for?

 

Oh yeah how can I check the temp. gauge to make sure it's working properly? and is there any way to check the water pump?

 

TTT. Is it possible for the water pump to just stop functioning?
