That is my problem: paranoia.

I fixed the connector, the gauge is moving up.

Now I have to figure out why I have white smoke on idle at traffic lights.

If they rebuilt the engine some smoke is expected but should diminish after a while. Also factor in the current outside temperatures/condensation.
Do you have white smoke at idle when the engine has properly warmed up in warm garage at idle
