Just because your body does not want to be 224F does not mean your engine does not like it. 224 is perfectly acceptable for it.
True, but since the fans are designed to come ON at that temp, then it seems the factory agrees with my perception?
Ideally, I would like to see the temps stay below 215F at ALL times. I have seen it reach 228F a few times. That's getting uncomfortable close to 260F IMO, where head gasket damage becomes likely.
At 228F, if anything went wrong in the cooling system, like a hose developed a leak, which would lower system pressure instantly, the temp "could" shoot up to 260 or more very quickly. I want a better margin of "safety"?
Stinkin thinkin?
