Most engines today are designed to operate in the 190 to 220 degree range.
Most cars today use 190-195 degree thermostats.
50%/50% mix of water/antifreeze will boil at 223 degrees, possibly another 45 degrees with 15 psf pressure.

Mine gets to almost 220 every day after sitting in traffic AND a steep hill to climb when I get home, sitting in stop and go in this heat gets to 213-215 easy, with this VX and my other VX, same scangauge. And the stock temp gauge moves ALOT when the scan gauge moves only a tad, so when it looks like it is very near overheating the difference in temp is really only like 10degrees.
Ask forgiveness, not permission.

Yep-yep...I've seen 218+ in stop & go traffic on the trails around Moab...Originally Posted by VX crazy
Your rad should have a volcanic steam eruption, causing you to switch off the ign key, before it spits out a head gasket.
