Did you complete the coolant bleed procedure? Running the vehicle into the red multiple times will warp the heads, destroying the engine. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=2sq7_ydqPf8

could be clogged cat or blown head gasket. Have a chemical block test done to see if exhaust fumes are getting into the cooling system. This is a relatively inexpensive test and takes only a minute or two to determine if exhaust fumes are getting into the cooling system and you have a blown head gasket. What TDolby is referring to is purging the system while filling and permitting the air block to escape as the cooling system is a closed system. Check to make sure the coolant is actually full.
