All of the A, AV, B, BN, and IA's had the C-113 engine with the temp probe location in the water inlet at the bottom front of the engine comeing in after being cooled by the radiator. They did not have a water pump or a thermostat. Water circulated by convection, in at the bottm of the engine heated and then out at the top. Called Thermosiphon. The water comeing out at the top could be 30-40 degrees hotter than the inlet temperature, if not more due to load. So-these gauges could be mid-scale in the green arc and you might think all is OK when it is not, water at the top would be boiling. The Kerosene engines say to use the shutter to heat up to the arrow near the top of the green-that would actually mean the COOLEST temp would be above 200 F. Way too hot!!!!!
