No. I wouldn't want to see it over 220 though.

It had to be close cause I was checking the temp at the thermostat housing with a infared temp gun. The highest reading I saw was 215 but the gauge was higher at one point than it was when I took the reading.

If it's not making any funny noises or blowing a lot of smoke out the breather then it's fine.
