Yes, but the gauges aren't particuly accurate, I have an afermarket gauge and the standard nissan gauge. The standard gauge will be all over the place while he aftermarket gauge stays put.

if your unsure, have your system reverse flushed.. cleans all the scale and shit out of the system.. worth the bux

If it's really hard eg can't squeeze it, it's probably cracked head it will be leaking compression into the water jacket.
