I personally are not good with odds. I always come out on the short end of it.
You could do the troubleshooting/repair in a familiar shop close to your comfortable home.
Or you could do it in an unfamiliar area with shop that is the best one you could find at the moment while you're traveling.
Those temps are not the normal 190 I see on mines. The ones you're seeing is concerning. I would suspect the last repair being the cylinder and head repair, if your engine had normal temps before the repairs.
Could be the headgasket was flipped upon installation.
Maybe a more knowlegable member could chime in with an easier way to troubleshoot a flipped headgasket without tearing the motor apart.
