The operating temp is 180 degrees mostly; as high as 190 on a long pull.
One of the A owners who had this problem with two or three head gaskets has since moved on to a Lion lll Speed head and with a few thousand miles has had no more problems. I'll try to find more info on the head gasket. The Lion head is said to be very heavy in that it contains more metal than the Model A head. I don't know about the speed heads and don't want to get off the main topic.
