Replaced radiator cap and thermostat buy still runing hot. New twist bubbles in radiator. Thinking blown head gasket. Any advice?

sounds like it could be, but you should go to your local part store and get a liquid that you can put into your coolant and tell you if you have exhaust leaking into it.

If it bubbles in the radiator then it could be a blown head gasket. Hold your hand to your exhaust and and smell your hand over the exhaust and see if you can smell a sweet acrid smell that may mean that you have a hole in your head gasket and are burning coolant and check your oil as well and see if you have coolant in your oil. I had that problem on a 240SX. Or get a pressure tester that screw on to your radiator and pressurizes your cooling system then you see if you water pump maybe is bad some have a weep hole on the bottom and it can be hard to tell the are bad. Hope this helps. Wait try flushing your radiator and see if any rust or corrosion comes out of it. It could be bad as well.
