Do you have enough coolant (check reservoir level).  Does your radiator
fan work?  Look for a disconnected wires on the fan or temperature
sensors.  Also possibly failed or improperly installed thermostat?
Bad water pump?  I guess grossly out-of-whack cam timing (caused by
improper timing belt installation) could also cause increased engine
temperature...
