I fitted a Smiths water temp/oil pressure combination gauge to my steed and
I am observing higher running temps on the freeway than in the city.

this, will add water wetter for anti rust later today), timing ...

Recently I upgraded both the wheels and tyres on my car, and had to go to a
70 profile height instead of 80, because I was worried about the rolling
