what is making me cautious as temps get to what is "normal" ie say 210F.
I am running a 7psig cap (~230 boiling).
long story... BECAUSE, I wanted the Gates heat shrink "clamps". during my first mile after car came from shop, a bottom hose blew off (dumping all coolant). the Techs that deliveried did a change out of with band clamps underneath and removed gasket from 15psig cap. Plans were to return car to shop to replace other Gates heat shrink, but I keep car for more testing.
I am thinking the remaining Gates heat shrink have seen more than heat to set up and I should try a 15 psig cap with local drives and see if they hold. I need to run that by shop because if one blows, they are to send roll back (4 hours away). the restro shop is providing "warrenty"
IF i accept 200F as normal running, I'll need to change fan switch to cut off higher. durring interstate drive today, fans stayed on at speed.
I have verifies fan rotations. hot air blowing from both sides, behind radiator
STILL . . . I would expect idling to stayed below 200F on a 75F day
