Default coolant spraying out of res..

i have a 97 ek hatchback with a d16y7, trying to find out why the coolant is being pushed out of the res.. i started with the thermostat and hoses. radiator cap, i even did the head gasket and all seals. head was machined and all new internals. and still the same issue. if you have any idea whats going on let me know.

When the car is cool, take the cap off and run car with heater on about 20 mins and keep topping off radiator as air bubbles come out of top of radiator.I think you might have air still in system.
