Right now I'm in the middle of flushing out the system. After the first drain of 50/50 water antifreeze I filled it with water and took it for a ride. Temp outside about 87. Went for a few miles so the therms could open. Came home and let it idle for about 5 minutes, temp went up to 200, I shut her down and checked the temp at the gauge connection on the engine with a inferred thermometer and it was at 205, she was very hot but not boiling over. More flushing tomorrow.
