How hot does the water in the radiator get after it overheats?

The cooling system is closed, and unlike NASCAR there is no fail safe way for fluid to escape if it overheats. instead the pressure will force the fluid through the weakest point in the system. Usually where the hoses meet the radiator or the block are where you will first notice the gas escaping

Why on a 95 ford probe gt would the lower radiator hose be cold when the upper radiator hose is hot and there is no thermostat in engine to cause a blockage and engine overheats?
clogged radiator or bad water pump
Is the thermostat the problem when my 1998 Pontiac transport overheats and the top radiator hose isn''t getting hot and the heater blows cold air?
It could be the thermostat. Open up the radiator cap when it is hot and see if the water is flowing in the radiator. If it is not then it may be a thermostat.
1996 aurora overheats new wp radiator thermostat. still overheats?
try a radiator cap......or you have a head gasket leak.
If the water pump and thermostat have been changed and there are also no leaks in the hoses or radiator and your vehicle still overheats what is the problem?
check the heater core stopped up radiator
When 2001 Ford Taurus runs hot in idle do you need to add water to radiator?
Not necessarily! Let it cool down then check the radiator water level and the water overflow reservoir tank. In a properly operating system the reservoir adds water as needed to the radiator when it cools down after you quit driving. #1. The radiator should be full of water and the reservoir tank should be 3/4 full of water. #2. At a certain temperature or with the "AC on" the radiator fan(s) should be sucking air over the radiator and cooling coils. So! Fill the radiator and the reservoir and when it overheats in idle see if the fans behind the radiator are operating.
94 Camry no heat but car overheats new water pump thermostat and radiator?
Be sure the thermostat is not installed backwards.
You have changed the radiator cap the thermostat the water pump is new and recently changed radiator the radiator stopped the frequenrt overheating but now very rarely it overheats and coolant boil?
Blown head gasket?

the radiator will spew hot water on you

Thermostat regulator is malfunctioning, water pump pulley could be bad, gas bubble in radiator hose.

What are some reasons a 2001 Chrysler Sebring overheats?
Low coolant, inoperative radiator fan, failed water pump, restricted radiator, head gasket failed, stuck thermostat.
In the hot summer my 1993 corvette overheats?
mine too, i cleaned the radiator area of leaves and then used a power washer to wash all the bugs off the radiator itself. it seems to have helped. i have read they run pretty hot anyhow around 200-220.
