Just to add something that is not quite, but almost off topic.
A long time ago I had a car that developed a problem. After first starting the car, once it warmed up, the temp gauge would peg on the hot end for a time, maybe 10-20 seconds, then quickly drop back to normal range. Very disconcerting to see that gauge peg.
It was so long ago I don't even remember whether it was only a cracked head or a cracked engine block or both. But it was definitely not good and something was cracked and not a minor repair.
