Start your engine cold, or below 195 and wait for the temp to climb a little bit above that. Your radiator fan should come on when the temp is above 195. If it doesn't refer to this thread.

You probably didn't bleed the air out of the system. There is a screw on the t-stat housing and on the heater bypass pipe.

Blown head gasket? Check for antifreeze in your oil.
