just like every engine...some say no more than 240, no more than 260 and so on...i say somewhere between 240-280 is the safe range

RE: engine temp
 
generally i would say don't worry about temps as every engine is different, and there are to many variables, temp is not a very accurate tuning tool, performance and smoke trail are much better indicators, but i would say no more then 300 F under normal running conditions if you must have a temp.
