Where is your probe? It could be in the upper outlet from the head to the radiator, but is more commonly in the lower inlet to the block.
If in that lower position, it will take a lot more and longer work than you're giving it for it to register much on the gauge if at all. That thermosiphon is an amazingly effective system -- a lot of radiator and a LOT of fan on a small system. On mine, I have to cover the grille to get it it to even warm up on a short run.
