I had already done this with a thermostat in place. I had no circulation. I achieved circulation with the t-stat removed. I believe that coolant goes through the heater by-pass hose when the t-stat is closed. If I have a heater line clogged, it could explain why I was over-heating. Could be the same issue with OP.

OP, check for circulation with the t-stat on. If there isn't, remove the t-stat and then check.
