Default Engine operating temperature

What is the normal operating temperature of a gas engine in degrees fahrenheit? If measured by a temp gun, what exact part of the engine should the gun be pointed at? Would the cylinder head where the plug enters be the best spot? Should temperature be taken while engine is running or say a minute or so after engine is shut off? And lastly, does the temperature vary from the make of the engine. In other words would a DLE engine run hotter or colder than a Zenoah, DA, or any other make? These questions are referring to a single cylinder gas air cooled engine only.
Thanks
Mike
