   The temp is supposed to rise quicky as the thermostat stays closed until the cars up to optimum temp 3/4 on the gauge for 8vs and 1/2 for 16vs going up to 3/4 in normal driving on 16vs. The fan should kick in at this point on 16vs and just past 3/4 on 8vs.
   
   If you car doesnt go past the 3/4 then your fine and this is normal.
