FWIIW, the DOHC motor is notorious difficult to bleed the air from the coolant crossover. The DHOC motor will not normally self purge over multiple heat/cool cycles like the SOHC will. The DOHC is so difficult to purge that often people resort to using vacuum filling systems.
Have you crossed checked the accuracy of the ECT sensor with anything else? For example an external temperature scanner?
Is the radiator clean (inside and out)? Are all air dams and fan shrouds in place?
FWIIW2, I believe the high speed fan turn on point is 220 degrees F. So being a few degrees above the HS fan kick on point should be considered within normal ranges.
What is the temperature that you think the motor is "hot"? I ask this because the coolant boiling point at 14 PSI should be around 260 degrees F.
