first i'd check the accuracy of your gauge using a infrared thermometer on the thermostat neck
you can also check the accuracy of the thermostat by hanging it in water by a thread stuck in the opening part of the thermostat
heat up the water and use a meat thermometer to check the temp when it drops off the thread

or just buy a new thermostat
Ogre, I am going to buy a new thermostat...then, I will let you know....
