Are you bleeding all the air out of the system properly? There is a bleed screw on the intake manifold.

what thermostat did you use? The thermostat needs to be a 170 degrees and have the air valve hole with the jigger. There is also a correct way to install the air valve or jigger needs to be upper side. I tried to insert a photo from manual but haven't figure it out yet.
