Default Bubbles in coolant??

Wzup guys, I seem to have a bit of a problem. I just replaced my radiator via Haynes manual but after I installed it,replaced coolant,bled the air,and started the engine I could see bubbles in my coolant resevoir. I tryed to add coolant to the radiator until the a stedy stream comes out of the air bleed bolt but the radiator just fills up. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Any and all help appreciated

the system i believe self-bleeds itself right? try checking it again now. The first time or two should result in the system bleeidng the air out automatically.

As long as your temp gauge isn't out of normal you're good. The system will eventually be bubble free. Give it some time--if you see that the temp is going way high, then a bubble might be stuck in the thermostat--other then that you're cool. Just run the heater, check the coolant for a bit, let the coolent cycle and you should be fine.

My manual says to loosen the air bleed bolt and add coolant to the radiator until a steady, bubble-free stream of coolant streams out of the top of the bolt, but before I could get a steady stream of coolant to come from the top of the bolt the radiator fills up- thus not allowing me to add more coolant. ( Does anyone understand what I'm babbling about?)Thanx for the help guys
