what my K used to do is the temp gauge would do the "dance" but very rapidly, and it was what i belive is a faulty thermostat, i have since taken the thermostat out and the problem has stopped, i just put pieces of plastic infron of the radiator according to the temp, and also use the heat in the car to fine tune the running tempurature, but i have ordered a new thermostat and am going to see if that fixes the problem, so it could just be a bad thermostat. the cooling fan comes on in my car at about 1/4 of the was up the temp gauge, so usuing the heat and the plastic infront of the rad i am able to keep it at a proper running temp. I know it may not be the proper way, but it works, and i am going to fix it when i get the parts to fix my valve followers and cam, so i will let you know how it goes.
