its probably an air bubble in your cooling system. just bleed the cooling system and youll be fine.

yea,
I'd agree and say its air in the coolant system. The same thing happened to me when I changed my thermostat and after I bled the system, it was fine.

It's on the passenger's side, kind of set back a little bit. Just follow the coolant hose until it reaches the thermostat housing.

Bleed it and run it without a thermostat, if it still does it it should be the headgasket
