are you asking what the average coolant temp should be? or the actually block temp? two totally different things

Measured ~6 inches post thermostat on the upper rad hose mine runs at ~92C after it's done fluctuating.

Well, the coolant temp sensor doesn't measure the block temperature, so it must be the coolant.

The engine runs around 200 degrees, as warm as 210 is normal. The thermostat starts to open at 192. Fully open is even warmer. A thermostat maintains minimum temperatures, not average or max.
