My car overheated the other day when i checked it out i noticed the coolant was not flowing. I changed the thermostat, water pump and radiator but still nothing. I have a 93 dual cam. Any ideas on what it could be?

Bad thermostat, or you installed it backwards.

^^Try it again. Make sure it is installed correctly... If in doubt, try it without a thermostat installed and see if it flows.

If bled properly, probably a bad radiator cap.

What's the best way to bleed it?

Jack the front of the car up. Take the radiator cap off. Massage the upper hose to work the air pockets out.

Ok, that's how i have been doing it but nothing, could it be the head gasket? I don't see water out the exhaust tho

If you have a continuous flow of bubbles, you have a headgasket issue.
