When replacing radiator, hoses make sure that the spring is also transferred to the new hose, it prevents the return hose from collapsing and reducing the flow, this can and will affect the temperature, when having work done be it radiator or hose replaced, always run the engine until the thermostat has opened and then finish filling there is always a bubble of air that has to be purged and this will not happen unlit the thermostat has opened, that bubble can also cause a hot engine, some times it helps to raise the front end a few inches to get the bubble to the highest point, that being the radiator fill port.
