If the wire from the oil temp gauge is disconnected from the sender and grounded to the chassis, should this cause the gauge to read a maximum temp ? I assume that as oil gets hotter, resistance is reduced activating the needle in the gauge ?

I believe that is how it works. I know that when I smashed my temp sender wire (between the motor mount bracket and the mount, I think) the gauge pegged full hot. Scared the crap out of me at first.
