Is 210* too hot?

[Kevin R.]

I just got my Autometer Water Temp. gauge installled today and it read 210* when running all day..

Is this too hot?

I also have UD pulleys. Bought it cuz the mechanic said he it ran too hot. Said it might be the thermostat.

Not at all. Do the fan mod and it will drop 20 degrees easily.

if you want cooler, i really like the Mr Gasket 180 stats (i dont know if that would work with your elec fan setups). very nice stat.
good luck.

FWIW, the puter pulls some timing at 226* (fox A9L puter) - so that is a reference i use for what Ford thought was getting a little roasty.
