i finished my swap about a month ago and noticed that my temp gauge was a little above normal.
i swapped my car (94m50 vanos) with mostly all new parts.
-new m42 radiator
-new upper and lower radiator hoses
-new 80c thermostat
-new gaskets
-replaced the plastic thermostat housing
-50/50 mix
-autometer heater hose adapter
-new vdo temp gauge
and when i drive around town, the needle tends to stay two tick marks above 180F but is pretty steady

and it bothers me that my engine is running a tad bit too hot.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance.
