Use an infrared non contact thermometer aimed at the thermostat housing. Your instrument panel gauge is inaccurate. The operating temperature ranges between 190-240'F

Most engines, including the 4JA-1, has an operating temp of about 95-105°C (200-220°F). If you follow Jick's advice, you should be able to confirm this using a gun-type IR thermometer pointed at the thermostat housing while the engine is at its hottest state (ie. after a reasonably long drive).
The way to work with IR thermometers is to keep pressing on the trigger while pointing it at different parts of the thermostat housing. Get the highest reading as that would be nearest to the actual coolant temp.

Where will this guy be getting a gun type IR thermometer?
I agree that it is normal if it just above the half mark since your thermostat is old already.

January 30th, 2016 06:43 PM #10i trust my thermostats. none of mine, over the decades, has yet lied me.
at the same temp... an old thermostat goes above the halfway mark, while a new thermostat goes just below the halfway mark...???!!!
