Exactly my thoughts. I boiled the thermostat before installation and it began to open at 82C, so I figured it was OK to use. When I noticed my high engine temperatures, I pulled out the thermostat and drilled a 1/8" hole in it and re-installed it. Aside from taking a little bit longer to warm up, engine temperatures were the same. I replaced the drilled thermostat with a brand new one that I tested pre-installation and I'm still getting the same temps.
Hmmm.
