So my vt is over heating I have replaced the radiator then I replaced the thermostat now replaced the water pump, not getting as hot now, let it run for 30min with heater on then also took for a quick drive around the block, guage went to three quarter Mark and then flashed hot on the dash but started to drop again, no signs of it being a head problem.. any thoughts.

Any loss of water ?
Try to Bleed the air out of the cooling system.
There is a brass bleed nipple on top of the thermostat housing.

A little loss of water yes, I am just bleeding it as suggested.. it's like there's a fair wack of air in her .... Should it be a constant stream of water coming from nipple?

Yes, constant stream of water,
as the air is most probably trapped in the pockets of the intake manifold.

vs commodore
Only 2 more thing that can go wrong, inlet manifold gaskets, and heater tap which go bad. No cream in the oil? no coolant smell in the car? Are You using coolant? Was there any oil in the water?
