[TPR] Oil Temperature Gauge

[Asa Jay Laughton]

That's pretty much the range I was figuring.  That or up to 320 maybe
depending on the manufacturer of the gauge.

Next dumb question.  How the heck does a "mechanical" temp gauge work? 
I know how a mechanical pressure gauge works.... tubing all the way to
the gauge (which I don't like the idea of and won't install) but what
about a mechanical temperature gauge?

They are cheaper than the electrical, but I think I'd rather have
electrical gauges.

Opinions?
