Quote: Funny thing was id pull off in stop and go and it would go to 185-190 degrees, I get back on the highway (granted doing 70 mph taching 4000 rpm) and it crept to 215-217 degrees and stayed there.
sure sounds like classic inadequate flow in the cooling system (usually the rad) but I'd pull the plugs and check the turning torque required on the front 1&1/4 bolt ASAP right when it's good and hot and maybe 215-217 is not a deal breaker but to me that is too hot.
