Is it possible that the engine studs weren't torqued to the proper settings or that they stretched? Just a few uneducated guesses. So take it for what it is worth.

Guys,
If he is getting coolant around the o-rings at those temps there must be a problem. The cars have 185°F thermostats for crying out loud. 220 for a short time should NOT kill the o-rings. I would check to be sure you hadn't broken an engine stud. (Or two!) Often not replaced at rebuild they can break.
