May be air in your cooling system. Unless you have a vacuum to put coolant in, it is very hard to get all the air out. It will cause your engine to heat up quickly and your temp gauge to be very erratic. If water is missing steam will cause that.

Why is your engine running hot without the thermostat?
the coolant goes through the radiator too fast to be cooled sufficiently. a thermostat will help get the engine to operating temp and the let only enough coolant through to keep engine at that temp. this slows coolant down enough to be cooled properly.
