My new thermometer that goes through the top of the stove into the combustor for some reason moves,in a clockwise position. I've never seen this before. This is a new factory original, baffling. Occurs after being heated up enough to close the bypass, and moved over 50% overnight.
 
I’m not quite following what you are saying, it moves clockwise? The whole gauge spins?
 
The thermometer does not run into the cat. It sits directly behind the combustor (federal law).
Mine did same thing, but I assumed it was movement thru the cat, around the shaft that caused it. Then, I assumed it was the blowers.

Can't recall my conclusions because I just moved it back.
