I've heard that before.....210* is alright. I think the overwhelming question is what temp should we be worried about warpage? Mine runs 210-220 all day long... In comparison, when I had my old chevy, it never broke 190.... whats the deal?.... Larry

it is all in the cooling system's capabilites, and the t- stat that is in there. Mine runs right at 200 with a 192 ford t-stat

I understand that but he was asking what was too hot? I run a 180* thermostat, 3 core radiator, and dual fans and I still run 210-220........

you should see my cooling system then.

170 t-stat, stock radiator, stock fan. im lucky to see 185 on a hot day. normal weather i see 170. once i shut the car off it goes to 190-210 and then drops back down.

im confused. my cooling system isint that capable, it doesnt seem like anyway.
