Hello guys,
Im new to this forum but Im a fan to ericthecarguy been watching his video for awhile now. Cutting the chase I have an issue and I already did many things to fix issue. I have a 2001 chevy cavalier 4 dr that i recently got off a friend. It had problems before I received it blown head gasket and he was running water for awhile in it so you know what that causes. I fixed the whole head gasket problem cleaned out the corrosion and rust as much as i could possibly could reach. I also replaced the water radiator and hoses to reduce amount of corrosion build up in the line. I been using 50/50 mix watched erics video on getting the air bubbles out of the system that few times to make sure. The car still continues to heat up but not to a serious point until now. Any suggestions on what i can do cuz this is a good daily car and i want to get back to running well. Sorry for the long message more Info easier for you guys not to ask me questions.

Was the thermostat changed? Fans working?

You might consider a pressure check on the system. With all the work you did it’s possible there could be a leak when the system is under pressure which could be letting air back into the system. I good indicator is if you hear a noise behind the dash that sounds like a water fall which could indicate air in the heater core.

Then I would bleed the system again with a spill free funnel to make sure all the air is out of the system.
