Your cooling system is full of coolant? Maybe there is air in the cooling system, bleed the air. Using the temp gage on the dash is ok to begin, but, not the final say. I'd use an infra-red non-contact temp gun to read engine temp, then compare to temp on the dash, the readings should be close. Just my opinion.
