My thoughts ...if it shows that high on factory gauge you've over-heated no ifs or buts . Probably not bad enough to harm if there's no steam or coolant boil-over. I base my thoughts on running a mechanical gauge on mine in conjunction with the factory . My car in heavy traffic can see 210-215 degrees on mech gauge while factory hasn't budged from mid. Once under motion and air is flowing better and fans come on I'm back to less than 200. Like ptgtcb says it probably was the fan not coming on when it should. I had same problem with my old '01 and I self-isolated it corroded fan relay contacts using the same mech aftermarket set-up .
