Anyone know what the normal and danger temperatures are on a honda motor with an 88cc kit (stock head)?

I am bumping this question because I would also like to know this answer... I've searched several different ways and can't find a numerical answer. People say "avoid high temps!" but what is "high"?
I am actually more concerned for powdercoating reasons, as I'm going to try powdercoating and making my own "dress-up" kit, so the pieces will be subject to the heat created by the head. Will it get too hot and melt the coating? Curing temps for the powdercoat is about 375-425 degrees...
I know I should probably go high temp powdercoat for everything, but that junk is twice the price of regular gloss black powder... :hijacked::hijacked::hijacked:

My uncle has a powdercoating kit that I can use for free. So yes, I've considered anodizing, but because I'm cheap, I'm going to attempt to powdercoat...:grin:

Yeah, it will work......... for about a week. Normal temp stuff IS NOT RATED for an air cooled engine!! It works "okay" on a car/water cooled engine, but still not the best.
Personally, go anodizing. It'll last you a while if it's done right, and you don't have to worry about chipping it.

This is super old, but I guess it is better than making new threads. Eddie, what did you end up setting your vapor at for warning and danger temps? Do you run a spark plug thermometer or threaded one in the jug like I do?

OK that thing looks cool, but expensive.
I am wondering how long I should be able to ride for, how hot it should feel, or how I know when to stop riding it. I built an 88 kit before and blew it up first day, and I think it overheated so I am super cautious now. I have an 85 kit, and TB cam, and ported stock head.
