If the temp is truly 185*°, that is not a problem, the cooling system is fine at that temp. Did you try a mechanical gauge to confirm that temp though?

I had our ceremonial M38A1cdn3 out for a run the other day and it too runs at 185*°. I can't say what mine runs at....unless it crosses the 200 mark I don't consider it a problem. The real problems start at around 230 to 240, when the coolant will start to boil.
