the coolant level before i took it apart to swap the thermostat was low actually, the radiator wasnt full of coolant like i usually keep it. but after driving / during driving ive never smelled burning coolant or saw fluids underneath the car.

i dont even think the coolant was flowing...i shut the motor down after a couple minutes since i dont know how hot it was getting in there since the guage was still not reading right. could it be that the guage wasnt even getting a reading since there is no coolant in the motor since the thermostat didnt open..i just dont want to crack a head.
