Steve, I had a similar overheat problem on my 91 Syncro 3 years ago - I was even past the upper limit. 45,0000 miles later, not a single cooling problem. (oh yah, I did replace the hose to the expansion tank last year but know this was unrelated to my near disaster.) Sounds like you stopped in time and had a good trip to boot. Good job and good luck.
