Hi Justin, A problem with the cylinder head almost always results in overheating, not running below operation temperature. I think you hit the nail on the head with your diagnosis of a defective (or missing) thermostat. Regards John

I hate to say it, but I think that you installed the thermostat upside-down. If so, the coolant is constantly circulating through the radiator, and it takes a very long time to come up to normal operating temperature, which means no heat to the passenger compartment. Try removing the "gooseneck" again and make sure that the "long" end of the thermostat is facing down into the engine. Good luck.
