Default Blown gasket? (video inside)

Whats up HT people just looking for some advice. I replaced the radiator, HG, Hoses and Thermostat over a month ago because i bought the car with an overheating problem. It seemed to have fix it for only about a month and a half heres a video of starting the car with the cap off and it just throws coolant up. Please let me know if its the HG again or something else. Any advice will be appreciated.

For sure that is a blown gasket... if you can see the bubbles coming from your radiator that is for sure... and is a lot...

The head itself might also be warped, especially if the engine has been overheated. You should take a straightedge to the head surface and see if it looks warped. Just another thought.

That's pretty weird dude. Kinda seems like the thermostat might be intermittent, but I don't know that's just another thought. Let us know what you find.
