It's metal. A few hundred degrees at least. i.e., after the coolant boils and there's nothing touching the housing except steam and 4000 F combustion gases. Though I think the Racing Beat site talks about excessive apex seal wear too much above 200 degrees. Probably thermal expansion or something.
106C / 223 F is exactly the temperature of boiling 50% antifreeze at 0 psi. I'd replace your thermostat and check/replace your pressure cap just in case. Boiling = trouble.

I had my cosmo to 253*F once when the fan shrowd exploaded and fucked up my fan
I kept it running for about 15min hovering around that temp and got it to a house with a hose and just missted the radiator till i got it down to 180.
Did an oil change that night and the oil came out like water. Drove on that motor another year before tearing it down, never had an issue
