Ferguson to20 carson

Hi everyone had a couple of questions about my to20 on the cooling system. I don't have at the moment a temperature gauge on it so I can't tell if its overheating or not but I don't think it is. I don't have a thermostat installed but I know you don't technically need one. But any ways I checked the temperature of the block with a hand held temperature gauge. On the head where the spark plugs are in the middle it runs about 160 to 170 in some places and down lower on the back 90 to 130 depending how long I run it. But when I checked the temperature on the head on the end of the block roughly where the voltage regulator would be its about 200 to 205. Is that normal because its right next to the manifold where its super hot. I am almost positive the water pump is working and pumping coolant because the coolant near the top of the radiator gets hot so it has got to be serculating. So should I worry about not having a gauge at the moment now or no. Because tomorrow possible have to take a big load of mulch with it down the road it the hot michigan heat. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks!
