Re: BBC temp creeps at idle; how did factory do it?

As mentioned above, 210* is far from overheating. I understand your concern about it creeping up very far above 210* in extreme conditions, but keep in mind that at zero pressure, water boils at 212 and a 50/50 mix boils at 226.
Just 8 psi raises water's boiling point to 233 and 50/50 mix to 248.
