any temperature that does not cause the coolant to boil over and escape from
the radiator.
The point is a combination of factors- heat and pressure, not a single
point.
Block damage may occur around 300`F regardless, but you may be safe to
350`F(?).

What is the maximum temperature that is the limit for the Rover V8
- before it starts to hurt? I used one of those
pointy-tell-the-temp things and it registered 84.7 C immediately
after a run and electric fan howling a treat ! To me that seems
reasonable ???? The rad, by the way, registered 74 C.
