Are you still breaking-in the engine? If you are try a large shop fan in front of the radiator. Does it go over 220 degrees? Have you driven the car yet? Fan may not be flowing enough air through radiator. If it cools down while moving, then you need more fan. If it doesn't, either you have an engine problem or the radiator isn't big enough. Make sure the thermostat is opening, also, below the thermostat and inside the block, there is a pressed-in washer that slows down? the water flow. Some have left it out and they will run hot without it. Lots of variables here. Make sure cap is good and all air is out of the system too.
