Re: temp
How far past the center mark? If its just 1-2mm I wouldn't bother but when she moves towards three quarters there might be issues, but that could be many things depending on the situation (at idle, during driving, etc.). More info in the FAQ section.

Re: temp
if you have a mulitmeter then you can use the below table
in my experience every e21 gauge is different..
Coolant temp (F) Gauge sensor (ohms)
186 64
166 73
161 87
145 126
137 143
122 200
107 267
99 309
89 367
81 440

Re: temp
if it gets to 3/4 change the thermostat.
not that cheap, but cheaper than a new head.
