almost sounds like an airlock to me?try bleeding out from them thermostat again and see if that helps any. I have also in the past kept the system open until the thermostat opens and them topped things up again. sometime they can really be a bugger to get all that air out.

Also cycle your heater air can get trapped in the core and bleed back into the system. Like sewerat said I would run it with the radiator cap open for about 20min and watch for air bubbles.
