whats yours and what should it be?
i have a turbo 2.4 surf and with 2 10inch thermos it runs at 180, i left it idling for about 30minutes in the drive way and it got up to a touch under 200.

Nic, are your still runing the standard engine fan??
What CFM are the fans??
Did the radiator get clean(re-cored) before you put it back in??
