Re: any body still awake advice needed asap
Did you ever pin down the source of the overheating? My guess is an air bubble. As suggested filling through the removed thermostat housing is a good way to lessen the likelihood. Also on the first start up on a bone dry engine from a rebuild it is helpful if you know exactly how much coolant was added vs. the factory spec to suspect an air bubble before it becomes a problem. Add the antifreeze and water from a measured container.
Been there, done that, plus a lot of other "OH S**T!" moments.
