I read a bunch of he replies,, some vary good points. Still not sure if your 210 Deg is with a thermostat installed ? A 195 deg will keep the coolant in the radiator the longest = the lowest possible coolant temp re entering the block... If you Rad at present dose not have the ability to dissipate the heat.. a number of the options can help.. !. fan shroud 2. larger air flow fan 3. HI flow water pump ( higher exchange rate = more time for coolant in the rad ) 4. smaller dia pulley see above,plus higher fan speed at low RPM's
