OK first off factory gauges are there for Amusement only , get a real temp gage for that spot in the head, you can even just get a cheap mechanical one and hook it up temporarily and take a drive, , the fan clutch , usually only causes overheating at slow times like in stop and go traffic, the fan clutch is only slightly engaged when the engine is at speed moving down the road, you can check it by revving it up from under the hood watching the fan, you should be able to tell its disengageing at higher rpms and reengaging when you bring it back down to idle, also its hard to get a good quality tstat nowadays being as everything has moved offshore, and last if the intake manifold is showing the correct temp the rest of the engine will be pretty close to that temp. once everything is warmed up. also new engines tend to run a tad warm until everything breaks in.
