Reply With QuoteI'm sure someone will correct me but but i do believe the fan turns on at 95, so i'd assume 100 is fine, but would be safer if the fan were too turn on a bit earlier to avoid it reaching 100.

Stock thermostat is 87°, that's the temp your motor should run at.
Stock fan switch comes on around 90° - 95 °

I put a new thermo in when I rebuilt it. could it be the wrong one and causing it to run so hot?
