It is running hot, but not overheating. The thermostat will only fit one way: the long portion into the block.
The blades of the water pump look great. The bearing is tight too. I don't see how it might not be pumping the water properly.
I've been bleeding the air from the top of the cold start device. In latter attempts in get everything working properly I've been bleeding air from the thermostat housing hose.
95% of my radiator and 100% of the lower radiator hose is still stone cold while the head is 210 deg F.
