When it hits the Hashed zone. Followed by the AC immediately kicking off. This happened to me years ago when I was having radiator/water pump issues

Mine got to maybe a 1/8" away from the hashed section. Got there once before (at Bloomington Gold last summer when sencondary fan motor quit), and all seemed well, in spite of it. (I haven't done a compression check, but it ran really well at the dragstrip, so I'm assuming it is OK. But, it does seem to use a quart of oil in about 2000 miles; a little more than before. I'll do a compression check Saturday to see if there is anything to be concerned about... F'n spring clamps!!

I was using the same amount of oil on my 91 in the 60K range.

Whew... Well, that's comforting. But, I'm sweating the (near???) over-heating episode now...paranoid, I recon. Long as the gasket held (again), I guess I'm alright. $$$ is really tight right now, and I really hate to see what the compression test might show. Then again, the courageous only die once, and a coward dies a thousand deaths. I guess I'll get it over with! It would be a "bit more" than a winter project to fix the short block…

Paul,

The 91 was doing this when I got it. It would spike to right at the hashed section and this worried me. The PO told me it "did it sometimes" and that he had Marc check it and clean the radiator but that it didn't help due to the wiring from the battery being too small to run the fans at idle (or something like that). But this was happening going down the road... Well I went to looking and the WP was leaking and the radiator clogged. Once all of that was repaired (new WP and removed and cleaned the radiator) the Z stays nice and cool now. Anyhow point being I think our Z was done that way for a long time so I think you are safe if it just did it once on yours.
