ok, so i cracked my radiator down by the bottom mount. im getting a new radiator but dont have the money for it for like two weeks, i used some quicksteel and covered the entire crack all the way around it, it seems to be holding but my car is still overheating, im testing it using water so i dont waste money, my friend says theres just air in it but i dont know where the air bleed valve is? so thats question one. ....i dont know why its overheating still.....? is it possibly just air? i just replaced both head gaskets.....and got a new thermostat, and now my radiators messed up, and it doesnt make sense that its still overheating. it still drips out from the quick steel but nowhere near enough to overheat like this....advice, answers, somethin.......?

Stick a water hose in your radiator and let the water run for a few minutes. Press on your hose. often that should get any air out. But Its probally the radiator. 99% its the radiator. Even with jb quik,weld,quik steel with not seal it up completely. When it builds pressure it will work its way out and run hot.
