I'd think the most likely cause is the thermostat is stuck shut. Take the thermostat out and see if you still have the problem. If not, it was the thermostat, replace it (yes, I've seen new ones fail). If it still over heats, I was wrong (won't be the first time!)

Good luck,
Emory

You "have to" make sure that you have all the air out of your Cooling system,any air in the system will cause the System to "spew"...Try www.rotaryresurrection.com for Cooling system Info..also Question:,are you sure that you put the Thermostat in Correctly?..(Pointy side up?),and did you Replace the Rad cap with a new cap when you Replaced everything else?.It could be faulty and causing the system to "blow" because it is Old...and Yes,the OEM thermosats and Rad caps are the BEST to get..the other "name brands" sometimes Cause problems.
