How are you bleeding the air from the system ? This is the best way remove cap from over flow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let idle once vehicle starts to reach operating temp antifreeze level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back on. PS before level drops it will start to full up in over flow tank this is normal. If it continues to fill up and come out the top of tank you have a blown head gasket.
