well i got done with the hg change about a month ago, but have been waiting for parts to finish it off (because it still overheated after the repair). i got a used radiator off of here (good condition), and swapped back to the stock fan clutch/blade setup. im still waiting for the fan shroud to come though. sooooo it still overheats...in about 10 minutes of driving. i dont think i completely burped the system though. i only let it idle with the cap off for like 5 min.
when i came back from the drive i let the pressure out and it was all steam (air in the system???). then i added quite a bit more coolant so i dont think i even had enough coolant in. the condition of it overheating wasnt to bad though because it was right on the edge of overheating and being okay. i could get on the pedal a little bit harder when the needle would start rising and it would go back down a little. does this sound like air could be the problem??
