The timing is set with a timing gun. It does not overheat to the point that it boils. It gets to 200 while driving and at lower speeds or when coming to a complete stop, the temperature will then rise to 220.
I have ordered a new straight up water neck to fix my hose issue, and I have removed the water pump to have someone look at it to see if if maybe it's bad. Hopefully by Thursday I'll know what the problem has been.
