In my humble view 190 isn’t an issue: except as in my case I get a vapor lock so fuel starvation is the issue. But at highway speeds, 180 is the norm. Stop lights get me to 190’s and vapor lock ( in the summer) not so much other times.
<div>After 20 minutes of cooling, I can go again.</div>
<div>Mine is ORM radiator and 4 blade fan; new water pump and fan shroad <br>
