[Tigers] How hot is hot ?

[Duke Samouce]

Hey Steve,

I have BTDT...except my Tiger would push towards 230 on the highway with 50
temp.  I had a 50% blocked radiator.

All you need to know for cooling the Tiger is in this article -

If you determine that you radiator is healthy, which it seems to be, I would
block off the horn holes and install a 15" and then re-evaluate.

Here is what I made to block the horn holes -

Some sheet aluminum and door strip sealer from Home Depot.  They are a
friction fit installed from the front side of the radiator bulkhead.

Got my new baby delivered by truck this afternoon and took her for a warm 
evening
So Cal drive. On the hiway temp gauge indicated 180 or so but going two 
blocks at a time red light
to red light to red light she was a bit over 200, maybe 210. External temp 
was about 92.
Car has a stock radiator and 4 blade fan. At what point is temperature a 
concern ?

Thanks
