The temp gauge issues may be indicative of a bad ECT (Engine Coolant Temp) Sensor or a faulty circuitry. First inspect the connector to the sensor for contamination, corrosion or loose/recessed pins.
Example of Precision: Measure with a Micrometer, mark it with Chalk, and then cut it with an Axe.
Disclaimer: We (very) seldom do that
