John, 85 to 90 degrees C should be max.....sound like maybe your thermostat
stuck closed.....stick a cooking thermometer in your radiator and check the
calibration on your temp gage.....if gage is right, 110 is way too hot.
You can also evap enough water out of the radiator expecially at altitude so
that the temp gage is not reading water temp. When I do this on the TA, the
gauge gets to be erratic and I know I'm low on water.
