How was the block prepped and cleaned? A small amount of scaling will cause cooling (heat transfer) problems.
My dad and I acid wash all water passages and you would be amazed at the amount of scaling that we get out (even after the block has been hot tanked).
With the engine assembled, you do not have this luxury. Make certain that you flush your system real good.
I like to run water, a little anti-freeze and Red Line Waterwetter.
Good Luck
