[QUOTE="merkyworks, post: 15369346, member: 179203"] Trying to figure out if I should be concerned or not. Daily drive my 12' in Houston and it is HOT, average temps are 97-100F easy every day right now. Sitting at stop lights engine temp is 203-208F but if in stop and go traffic (0-5mph start and stop) I have seen it climb as high as 217F. Once it's at 217F and I start going 40+mph or if I park the car the temp will slowly drop back down to 203-208F. Should the engine be getting that hot? I had planned to do a 170 thermostat and run 70% distilled water/30% coolant mix to help, is this a good plan or is there something different/better I should do. [/QUOTE]
