if the water temp goes over 110C/240F you're on your own. oil is maybe 240F too, high oil temps are less instantly catastrophic though. too high on the water temp, and the coolant seals fail
crispins numbers are more for like max power.

Personally, i like to keep my water under 200 F. Oil under 250 F for street use, and 210 F at the track.
Jesse Prather(Guru in Topeka) says he always has bearing failure above 220 F. Talking oil of course on the race track..
Can't get a picture, but this is exactly what my Competition Manual says:
Water(Outlet Side): Normal Range - 160-195 F Maximum - 205 F
Oil Temp(Oil Pan): Normal - 195 - 230 F Maximum - 250 F
I was way off. I suck ***.
The maximum for oil is a little high IMO if you're on the track.

Excellant information, Everything I needed to know to set up my new warning lights,Thanks!
The most pleasing part is that my system is keeping my temps well below those stated above even when blasting through up the mountain @Deals Gap or sitting in a traffic jam with the ac on.
Thanks again!
