100 Cel = 212 F = boiling water @ sea level. No problem.

In fact, you _want_ it to run at least at boiling water temp because it
keeps condensation out of the oil. Lest you fret about the coolant, well
that is why coolant is in with the water & why it is a pressurized
system as well. Keeps it from boiling in the block.

Sounds like your cooling system is working as it should.
