How do you know the thermostat opened at 210? And if the thermostat WAS CLOSED until 210, and it's a 165 degree thermo.. then you better replace that one first!

And install a quality sleeve type thermostat, not a cheapy poppet type that costs 4 or 5 bucks.

Then you need to verify the actual readings that you need are correct. If you can't trust the gauges then get rid of them and get something that works. Do you have or can you get one of the laser type temperature guns? They can make diagnoses so much easier.
