overheating is back

[zadam123]

just one more question, i took off the radiator cap and let the car run for about 10 minutes and noticed that the antifreeze never went down just rose to the rim and slowly spilt out (little bit) shouldnt the level have went down if the thermostat opened?

It should, if the thermostat is working as IT should..... And I would think this bolt repair..... There's alot of stuff that's gotta come off to get to it, price will be accordingly. Sorry this happened, good luck!
