Angry dangit stop getting hot!!!

ok well i have solve some of my cooling problems. the waterpump isnt leaking anymore. i put a new thermostat in. and its got the same radiator cap.(the one that u can relive the pressure with that red tab). i also have a electric fan on it constently. and no smog pump so i fill it up in the morning and went to drive it down the road. it started gettin alittle hot when i was gettin on it. but when i got back and let it idle. the temp went down. after a while the radiator cap started shooting water out the pressure release, and i think some water came outta the overflow. whats the prob?? lack of turning the waterpump since air pump is gone? faulty cap or what?? thanks

Any bubble in the coolant? Timing set correctly? Oil cooler free of debris and crap?

30% of the cars cooling is via the oil cooler. If its not right it puts an increased load on the radiator

YOU COULD HAVE WARPED A ROTOR HOUSING IF IT WAS OVER HEATED EXTREMLEY. WHICH IN SENSE WOULD CAUSE YOU TO ALWAYS HEAT UP. OR A COOLANT SEAL INTERNALY.
