Me. And many others, since below that temperature there's no problem. Over that temperature you got problems.

212 deg. is only the limit at sea level with no pressure radiator cap. Any pressure cap will raise that boiling temperature and reduce anxiety about boiling over. That's why Ford added them and why most of us use them. And most that understand that don't worry about it as much as others that don't. Capish?
