you need to bleed your coolant system. youve got air trapped in there somewhere. search for the proper procedure on how to do it. there is plenty of info here, you just need to search.

alright same thing happend to mine but i put a T-stat instead of a radiator.alright well the first step is 1) open up the bolt located ontop of the first hose of the radiator bleed the system.after you do that let air out.then leave it open turn on ur car and let it warm up untill it gets all bubbly and rev it to 2rpm if coolants starts going all over the place.turn off the car and shake the hoses and push down in your front bumper to get all the bubles in there. now fill ur radiator with coolant. ur good to go. if u dont understand ill send u the link.
