Have you replaced the cap with a suitable replacement (not chinese or something made in ZamBaump), do you own an IR thermometer to verify temp?

What year and engine size? Depending if it's a renix or not. If not all you have to do is start the engine with the rad cap off and let it get up to temp and that will take care of the air in the system.
