That's what the engine was designed and clearanced to do. It won't even begin to boil any coolant until it reaches almost 250 if the radiator cap and hoses are in good condition. The only limiting factor will be your heater core, which was designed for a 7 lb. cap if you're talking about your 4X4 NAPCO. Jerry
