When the motor was built did it get any goodies thrown in that might cause an increase?

For almost any street motor, 80 to 90 degrees C is the perfect temperature.
Cheers...Dave

what thermostat have you in there? from memory, should be about 86D yeah I reckon if it goes up to 90 or 92 on accasions that still sounds about right to me, you may have a few tubes blocked in the radiator. If you get the radiator cleaned, its a good id
