Hmmmm... Not sure I definitely thought it is air in the system and its not over heating. I would also think you would know if you put the gaskets on the wrong way. Not sure man

Your not leaking water anywhere correct? Just blowing out of the radiator?? Does it stop blowing the water out if you let it run for a while? Or does it do it immediately? It could realistically on,y be a couple things for the cooling system I.e coolant temp sensor, thermostat, radiator (air pocket), and water pump

Before you do any of listed above get yourself a new radiator cap, I know some might think its crazy, but I have seen countless cooling problems solved by a new rad cap. It is the cheapest route at like 7-10 dollars to eliminate, its worth a shot. The springs in the cap lose tension and it allows coolant to blow past it. Just my 2 hope you get it fixed.

I changed the cap and still blowns out under the cap and comes out of the overflow. And when it cold and i leave the cap off and i go to start it blows a big stream out the radiator . Its got to b the head gasket wouldnt you think. I hope not but my lucksucks. Thanks everyone for the ideas.
