What is the accuracy of the reading device? Automotive gauges are not typically very accurate. 200 is within limits for high humidity and temperature. The high limit shutdown is usually 223.
It is wise to be concerned about high temperatures since these engines are susceptible to piston scoring from high temperatures. I suggest using an accurate IR device and reading the thermostat neck. Either running or immediately after shutdown.
There are some digital gauges that will use the same mounting hole, use the same sender wire, and come with a matching sending unit. Decide for yourself their accuracy.
