Default Fresh build overheating.no leaks.no oil in water. or water in oil.

Whats up guys i just went to the gas station went inside for 3 minute to grab a pack of smokes. Came outside and the temperature Guage was a little above Operating Temp.

So i shut it off immediatley open my hood. and the top hose was Hard!!! Meaning air right? (ps i dont have a thermostat since the build) the bottom hose was normal and cool. (i have a constant fan)

So i popped off the Radiator cap and steam came out. there was air in the system.And i squeezed both upper and lower hoses and i didnt get any coolant to the top. No oil in coolant.no water in oil. and no leaks.

The build has 5-6 k miles. (and has never leaked coolant and has never overheated)
Arp head studs
b18b1
new water pump
Head gasket
No thermostat

Please help.
Any input is Appreciated
Thanks in advance

make sure to park nose of vehicle on hill, turn heat on full blast and make sure all the air comes out of the heater core and add coolant. make sure to leave cap off while car warms up

My driveway is at a slant. Just went outside with my stream light. look around and theres residue on my fan. i think my radiatior cap is slowly leaking and finally it got to the point were it wasnt enough coolant for the motor. added coolant closed cap squeezed upper hose and oppened bleeder sccrew and closed it. left it at idle for 15 mins. drove it for 4 miles. came back left it at idle for 5-10 mins revving it up every couple seconds. and it stayed all the way cold.


thanks 94LSV
