It's possible that if the bubbles your talking about is actually the coolant boiling. If so I'd check the cap.. It's designed to pressurize the system.. Pressure raises the boiling temp of the coolant and if it's not holding pressure it boils and spews and over heats.. I'd also check the fan

My 86 n/a is doing the same thing boils over at idle, new thermotat, changed waterpump, still overheats, but i have no white smoke at start up, so maybe not coolant seals, i have very good compression readings, hope its not coolant seals, could thermal reactor being clogged cause it
