How hot is hot?

Sounds like this is a new build and just completed. Assuming everything else is right, make sure you've got all of the air burped out of the cooling system. Check the heater unless you've bi-passed. Thermostat? How long was it running?

Yes, brand new motor. Heater is new but shut off with a valve on the hose.

Here's what's under the hood for reference.

It was running for about 15 minutes as I drove a couple miles around the neighborhood. I just checked water level and it's good.

I'm thinking I should drive it some more (break-in) and just pull over if it get's too hot. What would you do?
