If the engine is overheating......getting hot at a stop , you need a beter radiator fan setup.....
180..190 is not hot.....it would be quite normal to run at 190 all day..with little spikes into 200 maybe..
A pressure radiator cap is there so that the engine can run hotter than water boiling point without losing any coolant, or boiling over.
Also then ....obviously the higher the cap pressure the higher the temp it will contain!!!
