Default added coolant and no longer overheat?

i was overheating the other day and when i checked my coolant level it was just below full.... I topped it off with water and it stopped overheating?.....is it normal to overheat when the coolant level isnt all the way full or u guys think somethin else was responsible for the overheat?--thanks

Maybe without it being totally full, some air was getting trapped in it?

Yep. I too had a Koyo and my **** would overheat if I let it idle longer than 5 minutes. It was bogus man. On the other hand that radiator would stay cool to the touch after 5 hours of driving... who knows.
