If your engine is running cooler than the thermostat, than the thermostat is not preventing the exchange of water between the engine and the radiator. Did you do the old trick of drilling a small hole or two in the thermostat, if you did and they are too big, this will happen. It is possible you accidently got a 160 thermostat, try the pot of hot water trick in your kitchen to find out if it is opening too early, or not closing completely.
