One of the reasons may perhaps be that the engine is still holding your old coolant. You could either start the engine for half a minute with the radiator drain plug open, or manually turn the water pump / drive belt to try and get the excess fluid out.
----------------------------------------
The procedure described above will probably not work because most water pump impellers are ABOVE the level of the coolant remining in the engine block....however there is usually a block drain on the lower part of the block which will drain the block completely...Also,you might just have an air pocket in the cooling system - look for a air bleed screw ususally located on the thermostat housing.
