I did that with bleeding and the thermostat is 180 and its running up to almost 250 but it will start going down. my bleed valves is one on the thermostat housing and the other on a hose.

check for cold spots on radiator when it's hot with engine off and fans disconnected. if you feel any the rad is shot as well as loose fins on edges and a greenish looking color. if not that have it pressure checked for intake/head gasket leak.
