i replaced my thermostat and waterpump on my KA but, my car still overheats. I got pretty much all the air bubbles out by jacking the car up about a foot. does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem might be? thanks for reading my post

you need to unscrew the bleed screw, its by the temp sensor, make sure its cool before you remove it. when you remove it, then fill the radiator, when it starts to overflow, put it back in, top off the radiator, cap it and you should be good to go

Remove top radiator mounts. Move rad towards engine, look in the front of the rad.

sounds like a clogged radiator my friend. you could try to flush it but i would advise that it rarely works.
