HELP! I overheated/Is it done/adapter gasket found

["D. Dardalis" <dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

DB, I do not think this is really a huge mystery.  If there is no water to 
transfer the heat, the sensor will read the "ambient" temperature in the 
vicinity of the sensor.  The outlet of the coolant of the engine may be 
significantly cooler if there is no coolant to transfer the heat from the 
cooling jackets, even if the cooling jackets are very hot.
