Thanks for the help to all.

It looks like the problem I am having is simply removing all the air from the cooling system. Never have I had so much difficulty doing so. It must be the reverse flow deal. Air simply wants to stay on top and not flush down with the coolant.

Best I have been able to do is by (as I have been told) jacking up the front end, open the bleeder valve, remove the cap, fill and run with the bleeder valve cracked open till the symptoms go away. Repeating the process as necessary. I have done this 4 times and have had better results but no cure.

Anyone got any better ideas? Water pump, radiator and thermostat are ok.
