Had the head milled,replaced the waterpump, new thermostate, all new gaskets. Putting it back 2gther I checked the head bolts 2 make sure they wernt bottoming out, did everything by the book. It started right up & imediatly could hear the radiator bubbling. It started warming up and kept getting hotter so I shut it off. Why am I getting pressure in the radiator, why is it still overheating?
