Tony, don't sweat 10 degrees. You likely have 160 deg T-stats at least so running at 170 deg is fine, won't do any harm in fact your engine will like it better. Too many variables involved in the cooling circuit to expect two engines to run at the exact same temp, never mind the electrical side of it for monitoring temps.

Yup....it seems pretty normal to me.....there is no way you will get both the exact same....gauge error spec is probably 2% of scale to start with......
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.
