If it is more convenient, you can "borrow" a cooling system pressure tester

I thought that a pressurized system in the AM is the result of a cracked

No, not the exact temps, but the patterns - the head is x degrees hotter
than the top of the radiator, which is y degrees hotter than the lower rad

temp, miles driven at z average speed, etc.).

It's not so much the exact temperatures, but the differences in temperature
