i've got a thermo probe that sticks into my radiator for my FAL fan controller. Fans kick on a little above 80*c and run until temps drop below 80*c or so

80* C = 176 * FWhen does your Thermostat open up at??

Doesn't it depend on what thermostat you have??

stock thermostat, so whatever that opens up at. sorry i don't know much about my own cooling system, but its relativly stock and works well. if there ain't nothing broke, then there's no need to repair it.
