Check to make sure the cooling fans are coming on. Also, check the radiator to see if it is corroded inside. It may need flushed. Check to make sure none of the radiator hoss are collapsing when it gets hot. Remember, most likely your thermostat isn't designed to fully open until 195 Degrees F. 210 is getting high, but not really bad.
