thats why we have high powered air compressors.

Air compressors are a good way to blow the bits of crap (grass, sand, dirt) on the outside of your car deeper inside your car and possibly into your bearings; you're better off using a stiff bristled brush to clean off your car.

head bolts etc are fine. no bubbles in line.. no air leaks in engine. fresh bearings. no weaping at all
im no rocket scientist but i think 100c is boiling so that makes it 212f you are fine on temps! I run my Go that has been repinched at 230-240 and it does just fine. You can bring your temps up man.
