If no stat SOLVES the overheating then k.i.s.s. you had the misfortune of having 2 bad stats in a row (the one that was in there went bad & the new one you bought). As said you might test a new one suspended in a pot of water & bring it to a boil (candy thermometers are cheap) & dont forget the temp gun  . I push the stat open several times by hand to make sure it is free/not stuck before I check it on the stove. Holler how it turns out
Stuck the old t-stat in boiling water - opens wide. I think that
rules out bad stat.
