Read the thread titled "BAD HEAD" and that may help you. It's regarding the same thing you are asking.

What is the engine temperature when you see the air bubbles? If it happens also when it's cold, then yes you possibly have a blown head gasket. If it just happens when it's hot, then it's normal. Water BOILS (turns to steam which is the causes bubbling) at 212 degrees Farenheit at atmospheric pressure. With the cap off the coolant in the radiator is at atmospheric pressure.
