well i flushed it and everything good, i put some **** in there to thin it out and i cleaned most of it out, im gonna pull the hoses tommorrow and flush them just incase, but i took the t-stat out and it was clogged from that ****, so i ran the car without the t-stat and completely flushed it out, so im gonna flush it one good last time and hope for the best!!

compression test man. should be shooting for 200psi. if cylinders are not within 5-10psi of eachother, you may have found your issue. boiling/bubbling coolant is a leak allowing cylinder pressure into the coolant system. there is not much else to diagnose here unfortunately.
