Crikey! Isn\'t 122 degrees into the realms of engine damage?

[mikeyh]

lol i didi read another site saying something about 127 or higher,car did drive home ok no probs and even sat in traffic for 40 mins too lol
it now tucked up safe in its garage awaiting a strip lol

I read on here not to use a rad cap above the standard 0.9bar pressure - something to do with putting too much pressure on the water seals (or something?)

Remove the aircon if you still have it, that will improve the airflow but probably better to get an ali rad.

I have just looked up the boiling point of WATER at the pressure the coolant system runs at, and it is 118 degrees. I don\'t know what effect antifreeze has on that temperature.

Ive seen my water temps go into the 100\'s but only afer a beating and been switched off for 10 minutes

[mikeyh]

most iv seen on normalish driving was about 100 but round the track and on a hot day didnt expect that one.
