Post B18c running hotter than normal

B18c with Koyo aluminum radiator. Normally it runs in the 190F range and will sit about 200-205F range during long stops or after running it hard..until a few days ago.. Now its bouncing around 205-220F and will sit a 225-230F during long stops. Oil levels are good, coolant level is good and no signs of head gasket problems. Anyone have any ideas?

what also worries me is that my water temp gauge only goes to 250F. Getting pretty close!

Maybe your fan switch is bad?
Maybe your T-stat is not opening up when it should and needs replacement?
