did the same at the same time with a actual stock engine with stock thermostat , fan switch and coolant etc , and temp still wasnt ever an issue.
OEM parts and fluids when properly maintained are fine.

The only way to overheat a untouched engine is to drive in reverse for a few minutes and watch the temp gauge soar.
