Continued overheating, coolant spewing from radiator when warming up...

Oh yeah I see now that the fan is resistant to me turning it by hand. It looks like the coolant is just not circulating through the engine. It just builds up in the main radiator hose like the thermostat doesn't open...

So test the thermostat.... just because it's new doesn't mean it's good. There are a number of possibilities here including advanced timing, bad water pump, coolant blockage, missing fan shroud (combined with other minor problems), bad thermostat and BHG. Start testing.

maybe try running the car without a thermostat just so the coolant can run freely. If the thermostat is a problem you will tell
