According to your temperature readings, both digital and using the gauge, your thermostat is not functioning properly.

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:
