Has anyone done this mod to there temp guage on a Diesel KZN130?
Im looking at doing it to make my guage more responsive & hence more accurate.

yep had it running in mine for a couple of years know. real easy to do and parts available cheap from Jaycar, think i have spares at home as well.
gauge know goes up and down like it should ,no flat spot, but still no real indication of real water temperature. Running an after market gauge as well know.

It spun a bearing & once we strippd it down noticed a small crack in the head.So decided to totally rebuild it.
New Bearings , pistons , rings , 2nd hand crank , head ,valve guides , water pump , replaced power steers pump seals , etc etc Also took radiator apart & rodded it .
Next mod is a dump pipe & larger exhaust to reduce temps then fit EGT gauge at same time .
