If the exhaust smells like sulfur and is white then A head gasket is where i would start. If not try a new radiator cap. that could be the problem .

My bad you changed the cap! Also check for a plugged radiator.

if it is building presure that quick, it could be a head gasket and the compression from the cilinder is going out thru there. Check your transmission for any signs of oil.

Default water pours out radiator but it is not hot? what is going on?

ok here is the deal i bought it with water in the oil thinking it was the head gasket i pulled the motor off installed new gaskets and it still had water in the oil but it ran super strong so i installed new water pump seals that took care of the water in the oil but the very first start up after installing the water pump seals it starting puking water out of the radiator if i ride it easy it does not do it you can let it idle for ever and it does not do it but hold the throttle half way open when sittin still and it takes it about 30 seconds to start puking. my oil is clean as new it runs super strong idels perfect no stem out the pipe no funny smells out the pipe im lost and i also just put a new radiator on it yesterday. if i have to pull the motor again is there any place that can check the head and cycling for cracks? thanks for the help.

You must have blockage somewhere in the cooling system. The water pump is building pressure on it and it is popping the cap.

It is also not allowing the water to circulate so the cold water in the radiator stays cold.

I would completely flush the motor cooling ports manually from both sides. My guess is someone had a hole in their radiator and they dumped some stopleak crap in there. Since you bought a new radiator, if that is where the blockage was..... you should be good to go.

Any automotive machine shop should be able to pressure test the head for you, or dye test it. Pressure testing is the preferred.
