I recently changed my thermostat due to overheating. Later learned I had to bleed after. Well, I tried and broke top off both when tightening. Still bubbling in reservoir. Scared it could be head gasket. Is there another way to bleed coolant system until I get paid my heat doesn't work so I bypassed heater core since it's bad. So, I can't turn heat on high my blower is burnt out I checked it under dash. Is there anything I can to even if temporary I need car at least 3 more months.

Unfortunately, with a blown head gasket the cooling system will never be bled because it just keeps getting refilled, but we have had some good luck with Blue Devil head gasket sealer.

Here is a video of it being used:
