Once the possibility of an airlock has been ruled out then the evidence points to the thermostat. As you say this is new, it raises the possibility that the second-hand engine you have had fitted could have been contaminated with K-Seal. Here's my earlier post:
I see no evidence that your temperature sender is faulty.

Simon, you have come to these conclusions without full data. Whilst my car is a diesel, the principle will still apply. I can drive my car for 10 miles continuously and the temperature will not exceed 72 degrees, with an ambient temperature of 11. By your reckoning, my thermostat is faulty. I can tell you it isn't. What you do not account for (again) is driving style/situation and consideration of the heater being used.
