180 to 200 degrees is fine, closer to 200 is probably better. The manual for my Allis WD states that it needs to be at least that warm for "tractor fuel" so there is no harm, even recomended. A warm engine will not carbon up as much, will vaporize the fuel better, and warm oil will not contaminate as fast. I used to like 180 dregrees for engines, now I am leaning more towards 200. Using a 50/50 anitfreeze mix you will not boil until something like 230 or more even if you don't use a pressure cap.
