Is the engine overheating? Have you tried flushing the radiator, engine, and heater core? Also, you mentioned the coolant is bubbling. Is the temp gauge indicating that it is overheating? Sometimes, it there is a bad head gasket, this can happen because compressed air is making its way to the coolant system.

Let me know.
