Does anyone know what the normal temps should be at the exhaust ports when running 2300 rpm? Thanks

Sorry, no direct answer.
But, two things:
1. What is the concern/symptom that raises that issue?
2. Main thing I would be looking for is that exhaust temperatures are similar/minimal variation.

Still trying to resolve high temp indication on gauge around 180. However laser temp at thermostat about 150. Replaced thermostat and temperature sender. Believe there may be air in system but have not been successful getting it out. Anyway in my continued troubleshooting I’m trying to monitor temps in many areas of the engine. Most seem normal but I’m not sure of the exhaust temps.

Does engine have normal power?
Any smoke (an indication of over-fueling)?

Yes engine runs normal no smoke. Confusing part is all the temps I take on the engine seem normal. Not sure what a normal temp is on the exhaust port which is what prompted my question.
My other question is when bleeding at the thermostat how should the stream look, steady and strong or dripping out? Mine is small with some air bubbles occasionally
