Changed the Head Gaskets on my bros 87. All is good.

While Running I was filling the cooling system back up....with the cap open. I filled it completly up and when it got to about 180 ish......the cooling system started to BANG...and I mean BANG....as in shaking the Rad (if ya put your had on the rad cap you can feel the shock..like the coolant is boiling). There is no heat in the car (heater core hoses are cold) and the upper rad hose feels pretty cold as well......Is this just air or is the thermostat stock closed??

it's starting to scare me
