I have a 96 chevy cavalier...just had the head gasket and thermostat replaced but when the car idles for 10-15 minutes the temperature runs about 3/4 instead of half...is this normal?

normal is what the vehicle was like before repairs were made, right out of factory specs.

too hot of a thermostat may have been put in, improper mixture or too little fluid.
