Did I also happen to mention that I run both my thermo fans full-time? I don't have a thermo-switch in mine anymore, so one stock RAV4 fan and another 11" thermo fan (thinner to accommodate the turbo) run together at the turn of the key. The 11" thermo fan runs off it's own relay, loom and fuse due to problems experienced earlier with the factory connector being used. 
When I had only one thermo fan operational, the thermostat would get to about 75°C before it opened the full way, where the needle paused at that point for several minutes, until the engine got too hot because only one thermo fan was cooling the coolant, and so the needle ventured up past the 85°C mark (and kept going), at which it was the point of no return unless you switched the engine off. This was also exacerbated by the crack in the exhaust port letting CO-gases into the coolant, thereby pushing the coolant through the system until it created an air bubble in the radiator, and the coolant had nowhere to go but out through the reserve bottle.
