The gauge should be in the 9 o'clock position and not half way as you suggest.---

I do run my V6 with the plastic engine cover off, as it makes the spotting of leaks much simpler. Would this reduce my running temperature by any significant amount? |

Yes, the heater core and heater matrix are one and the same. It probably doesn't make any difference (negligible anyway) to the engine operating temp. Flushing - and back flushing - may well give you back your heat.

I’m not so sure. It was like it when I got the car the car before doing any work, and since I fitted a different engine it’s been like it - bled a couple of times. I’ve done 2k miles like it - including some high revs / long distance driving, and also been stuck in traffic for an hour. Temps read normal via diagnostic mode on the dash and via OBD, and the fan kicks in.
