Check the Factory Service Manual in the FAQ. It's normal for you to need to burp your baby!!!! Same thing happened when I did mine.

NO, you need to bleed the system of air.

If you don't bleed the system and remove the air, that air bubble travels through the system and you get the same result you experienced where the thermostat gives you a high reading.
