When I rebuilt the engine, I swapped out the stock pump for a high flow Milodon.
It would warm up and sit around 200, then after driving on the interstate about 25 minutes, the temp would be around 210-220, I saw it get as hot as 230 on a very hot day. I thought there was air in the system, so I tried burping it and found pieces of RTV floating in the radiator. Unfortunately that was the same day I flattened the cam, so obviously I had bigger problems at that point.
I agree, I'm ordering a replacement set soon. Unless there's a way to fix it? I've never had great luck fixing kink in tubing like that.
