Green Ticky cover should mean its NC2 Sportsman motor ;)
my old EA did this, it drove me nuts. I drilled a very small close to 1mm hole in the side of the thermostat and it disappeared. Welcome to the forums

Thanks for welcoming me. This problem is really starting to me to the point of selling the car mind you it gose hard but no one can help me i tried to bleed the system but still is doing it. so when u say drill a hole in the side do you mean the flange part or where the spring part is.

The idea of drilling the hole is to allow some coolant flow even with the thermostat closed. You'd drill somewhere on the flange, most say 3mm is the best size. Also if the thermostat is non-genuine, I can say from experience they don't last long. The Ford one is about $25 and worth every dollar.
