It seemed like it was ok, was not bubbling. Took it for about a 3 mile drive, got back and coolant was flowing out of the water pump. Removed the cap, added more water and we get the bubbles. It seems to start blowing out of the water pump when the cap is on. I suspect it might have been blown when I first worked on it to patch the original radiator. Shortly after it literally blew out the side of the tank. I'm thinking now it was presssure. You can see exhaust gasses coming out of the overflow tank and when you shut it down you can hear it hissing and boiling within the engine. I told the kid I have no more cars for him, he is on his own to figure it out now.
