After completing my engine swap I've had a hell of a time getting the cooling system to work properly. I'm a the point now where at idle its stays cool but as soon as I put it in gear and start driving the temp rises quickly and I have to shut it off. Checked the thermostat and it was working properly but I replaced it anyway since I already had it out. Is it am air pocket or what? I'm at a loss here because we've tried everything with no success at this point. I've tried to bleed it with the lid off overflow but if I give it a little gas is forces the coolant out of it. It just seems the coolant isn't flowing properly.
