Normal Opertating temp for 3800 Series2 V-6

[lynyrd77]

Hey,
My engine is running at just under 210 degrees. It is a 2002 and I do not see much change in temp with ac on or off. I have always had my GM V-8`s running around 185 to 195 degrees. The engine has 71k miles but is strong and runs great. Is 210 normal?
Thanks,
Lynyrd

I am not sure, but I wouldn't worry about it running 210. If it gets much over that then you might have a problem. Our Bonneville has a 3800 Series II in it and IIRC it runs 200-210.

Appreciate the input. :) Everything seems to be fine.
