Well, I used the laser thermometer, and the results were alarming--and confusing.

The temp on the temp sensor was 309F.  The temp on the CTS was 189F.  The temp on the manifold was 547.

I just temp gunned my wagon tonight trying to diagnosis a possible cooling problem. I got 190 upper hose. 235 top of radiator 160 face of radiator with engine fan running, intake manifold 255 water pump 245 headers 575 all on a 160 thermostat. Mine seems to be ok. You might be as well.

The CTS is on the coolant exit, and the temp sensor appears to be right by the head.

What I need to know is the temp other people see on their Fiero.

I'm suspecting an air pocket.

It looks as if the oil leak is coming from the O-ring for the oil pump.  Rrrgh!

Ok..... I couldn't figure out how the oil pump inside the oil pan could be causing a leak on the outside of the engine...... most parts store stock the oring

True, but this will be the third time this seal has been replaced in 3 years.

I would think there would be, (or if there isn't, there really should be) a gasket under the top of the piece, too, where it is fastened to the block.
