Default Car running hot after cam

Well... got the Torquer V2 in last night and started it up this morning. Started right up, great oil pressure, but the temp gauge was going above 200 so I shut it off.

Ive just been filling it with the orange Dex-Cool.

I also noticed that it was bubbling a little bit out of the radiator filler spout.

Any ideas? Did I muck something up?

Sounds to me like there is air in the system and it hasn't circulated yet.

Just let it run and get the air out, and add coolant as necessary.

keep in mind, while you are letting it run, leave the cap off and just keep putting coolant in, this will take care of the problem. I had the same problem with mine and that fixed it right up!

Put a T in the system to help purge air out and assist in adding coolant.
