With a 15 pound radiator cap an engine will get, depending on altitude, up to ~245/250*F before boiling. 210 should be no problem. It's a normal state of mind that people expect boiling at 212. If it's under a pressure device(cap), it can go much higher depending on the release pressure of that device. Just don't remove that device when it's hot as the water WILL boil at normal 14.7psi atmospheric pressure (and that 15psig cap is that much above the 14.7psia)Dave W
