Default RAPTOR engine head temp. OVERHEATING??

what would you say is a good head temp as compared to a overheated condition? say for example is 124deg f & crank case temp of 106deg f good (measured about 35 sec after shutdown)

on OS50 good temp is if you can hold your finger 2 seconds or more on the backplate.
Hot if less than that

I run up around 200 head temp measured by a venom onboard at the base of the heat sink. But the finger method works just as well on any size motor, if you cant hold your finger on the backplate atleast 3 seconds its too hot/lean.
