So i have been working on my 86 CJ7 . I had to put a new heater core in it and did not tighten up one of the hoses all the way. Lost some coolant and the motor got a little warm. Tightened up the hose filled the collant and ran it and since then i has ran with the guage at about the 3/4 mark and it used to run just at 1/2 or under. I put in a new thermostat and the water pump was done just before this. All new collant lines and coolant what am I missing? The oil looks good so i don't think the head is leaking into the oil but this worries me I don't want my wife getting stranded out there someplace.
Any ideas what else to check?
