how hot is too hot for metro?

so after reading up on metrompg i decided to try the grill block cover.

before, my temp gauge normally registered at (roughly) the 1/4 position.

based on a short trip this evening (need to to some more testing obviously) it was registering a bit past the half-way position.

obviously you're in trouble when it hit's the red "h" section... but i'm just curious what too hot of a normal operating temperature is.

i'm not interested in going to such extremes for mpg's that i wind up damaging my engine... so i don't mind pulling the grill-block if running warm-hot is going to cause harm.

thanks for the info!!
