    good day masters, not really an actual one but since the gauge i bought is just the normal one.. this only cost me 250 pesos, its grid starts with 120 then 150 then 190 and so on... i really don't know if it's in celcius or fahrenheit. i ran for about 15km today and it did not even move a lil bit. i just assumed that the water temperature did not reached 120 degrees celsius or fahrenheit because im not really sure what is the label of it.

    i hope someone could share their ideas about this... thanks in advance...

    On average, I think it should be between 90-110 C which is 194-230 F.

    if the gauge has no numbers on it, midway would be a good reading. but in heavy traffic on a hot day, slightly more than halfway is still ok. and i would start looking at the needle more, if it starts creeping to 3/4 of the way..

    It did not move a bit, maybe because you removed the thermostat...

    the thermostat causes faster temp rise in the engine block. you can usually see the needle move after only 2 km.. but if the thermostat is removed, it would take considerably more time for the needle to start moving , mebbe 2 to 3 times longer.
    btw, check the connections... baka hindi kunektado..
