Understand.  But, I don't think that is normal. 
When it is really hot out and 
I'm in S&G traffic, mine frequently gets to
212.  I never have any OD problems 
when it does.  What type of oil do you use
in the tranny?  I ust Redline MTL.

Tom,

I don't have any
overheating problems in traffic.  I can drive for hours in 
traffic and never
get over 190.  It's on the highway at speeds over 50 MPH that 
the temperature
rises to 212 and stays there.  In fact when driving in PA and 
climbing some
of the steep inclines the temperature will rise to 230.  The OD 
drops out
after many hours on the Highway at posted speeds.  I have no problem 
in city
traffic. 

I use Valvoline 30 wt. non detergent racing oil in the tranny.

Any
idea on what the water pump pulley dia should be on a MkII 3000 BN7?

Ron
