ok if anyone is still tracking this i replaced the thermostat and the paper gasket and i watched the temp drop but it still over heats and there is alot of air in the line when i bleed it all out i drive it and it gets hot and i bleed it again and theres more air in the line where is it coming from open to suggestions

Glad to hear the op fixed his problem. I was gonna say since he changed his water pump, to pull the pump back off and recheck to see if the drive bit or whatever its called was installed. The water pump is driven by that bit. Maybe this will help someone else in the future. I had this problem before.

Next I guess would be a pressure check of the system. They make a tool that you pressurize the system and you can listen for leaks. Could have a loose hose or a pin hole where it is getting air in.
