overheating after cam swap About a week after my cam swap I pulled into work and popped hood to show a coworker some stuff and i shut the car off. then coolant started coming out of the overflow cap. it wasnt over heating, its was at 210. so i topped the radiator of and ran it for a while with the heater on and it was all ok. well last night (about two weeks after the first incident) my car started to overheat intermittently. so im geuss there is an airbubble trapped somewhere. well i went to work today and got a coolant transfusion machine and pulled all the coolant out and put the system into a vacuum to hopefully remove all air bubbles. with the vacuum present i then allowed the system to suck new coolant in and repeated this process until the system was full, while having the engine running with the heater blasting. left work and drove aorund for while, everything was great..210. perfect. when i pulled up to my house and shut my car off, as i was walking to my door coolant started coming out of the reservior.......i just shook my head and continued inside my house. does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
