Why Water Temperature Monitoring Matters
Engine temperature is one of the fastest ways to destroy a build if ignored.
Too hot:
- Overheating
- Head gasket failure
- Warped components
Too cold:
- Poor efficiency
- Increased wear
This gauge helps you stay in the safe zone—where performance and reliability live.
Engines don’t like prime water temperatures, Warmth is the enemy of performance and reliability. Stay tabs for your temps with probably the most accurate, quickest responding water temperature gauge available on the market. AutoMeter’s advanced bourdon tube meter movement supplies unparalleled performance in probably the most demanding applications.
A 6’ capillary tube and 1/2” NPT mounting nut are included.
