16v over heating

[joshhignight@techography.net (joshhignight@techography.net)]

My car recently joined this club as well. The top rad. hose=
 popped (yay $90 hose...) and since then I've had problems with=
 it overheating. I'm pretty sure I burped it well. Poured fluid=
 into the tank, and into the upper hose... Now I'm getting=
 coolant burping out of the cap on the tank. I'm going to try=
 burping it again this evening when I get home. Till then,=
 leaving the defrost on to kep my fan on I guess.

Drill 2 or 3 small holes in the thermo-stat so that it constantly=
 lets
water by.  It won't be enough to effect temps, but it will be=
 enough to
burp the system.
