For a small block Chevy, temperatures exceeding 220°F (104°C) can be considered too hot, as this can lead to overheating and potential engine damage. Ideally, operating temperatures should be between 180°F to 210°F (82°C to 99°C) during normal driving conditions. If the engine consistently runs above 220°F, it's important to check the cooling system, including the radiator, thermostat, and coolant levels. Regular monitoring can help prevent costly repairs.
