Recently had to have my radiator repaired for a few small leaks. Cost me the price of a new aftermarket, but often the overseas stuff is absolute crap. While I was replacing the radiator, I found that there was no thermostat in the upper hose, so decided it would be good to get the thing to work at the correct operating temp after reading some of the archive posts. After running about 20 minutes, it boiled over. Super. I took the t-stat out and checked the opening temperature in a pan of water. After a few repeated tests, it's opening at 190 degrees. If I'm not mistaken, it should open at 160, correct?
