Boiling over.......

Do you have a thermostat? If not you may be moving water thru the engine too fast for it to cool.
I like to run a 190 thermostat with a small bypass hole drilled in it, which will let those air bubbles move to the radiator, and allow hot water to flow past the thermostat quicker during warm up (decreases the sudden spike right before the thermostat opens).

Unfortunately, I wasn't running a thermostat when the temperature spiked and still currently it sits without a thermostat. I did go the AutoZone and pick one up but I don't remember the rating. I even changed the thermostat housing.
