Paul,
1. Number your questions (wink)
2. 190 for a freshly started motor is OK. Some would say it's OK for a
broken in motor running stationary for 20 minutes.
3. That it rises after you shut it off is OK
4. I would ditch the pressure tester and just see if it overheats. Looks
like it doesn't
5. Figure of 8 is far from the weakest point in the system. The things are
clamped in at 105 ft lbs.
6. I recall you said your water may have been rain from your motor sitting.
7. Did you find coolant in the oil after the 20 minute run?
8. I think you are asking if you should tighten a radiator bung at 50 ft
lbs. That is a lot for a radiator and you are likely to break something IMO.
Whew!
That my take on the subject(s).
