Will a mechanical water temperature gauge go bad after the copper tubing has been in contact with the header. Temp gauge goes from 190 to 230+ during thermostate cycle, I've also replaced the thermostate thinking it was sticking, then noticed temperature copper lead was touching the header.

After moving it away from the header it still reads the same.
