I think the thermostats are supposed to open when the air temp is 
around 165F, but that's just the temp of the exiting cooling air. 
Different parts of the engine will be at different temps. The heads 
will be the hottest and the case is probably the coolest.

In general, you don't want to see the oil temp in the sump go over 
212 F. Under 200 is good.

Did you do something to get oil to the right side? Did this quiet the 
right side down?
