I wish my temps were no higher then 120C. I'm still
sitting at around 125-130C after burping the system.
It was at a horrifying 150-160C before I got the air
out. I plan to give my radiator the mother of all
flushings soon, and adding a Flex-A-Lite dual fan in
an effort to get down around 100-110C.

Later...
