Introduction
Before I begin the review, I’d like to thank folks at Tempgun, specially Nicci . This is the first company that accepted to send me their product for a review. Thank you for your help. It’s really appreciated. Now, let’s go with the review…
They are few way to know your engine temperature, one of those way is to spit on the engine head. Another one is simply touch the engine’s head. How to make the difference between 210F and 270F ??? The best way to exactly know your engine temperature is to use a temp gun. Tempgun offers several high quality temp guns. The one I’ll review is the most affordable, the PE-1 model.
No matter if you are a basher or a racer, no matter if you are a newbie or a veteran, you need to know exactly your engine running temperature. In fact, a temp gun is not a facultative tool, it’s as important to have a good temp gun as having a glow starter. I can’t imagine myself breaking in or racing my engines without a temp gun.
