Hot Engine
My 89 XJ runs a tad hot. I have an extra sized water pump on it, I just changed out the tub, thermostat 160 Deg, and the water outlet and it has topped out at about 195 Deg. Is there any thing I can do, to help it run colder. While I am driving it lowers to under 180 but it gets hot down here in souther cali.

you may consider switching to a closed cooling system seen here.
