Exclamation Re: water temp?

Really depends on your thermostat.

Lightbulb Re: water temp?

In another thread he indicated 200F, which for a roller cam car seems awfully high unless you have a 190F or higher thermostat in it.

Perhaps there is an issue with the water pump, thermostat, radiator, etc.
