The waterfall sound is likely coming from the flow to/from the heater core.

Sometimes air can be very difficult to get out.
I would run it hard and try bleeding the air out again.

I think it would blow out the gasket sealer you put on the rear of the head (s) before the coolant tank. Your old tank likely blew from age. Apparently it's common that they crack. Given the under hood heat they endure, it's not suprising.

Swap your heater core hoses if you want a quick way to burp the heater. Worked like a charm on mine.

when you say swap do you mean putting new ones in or disconnecting from top and reverse flushing?cause pulling those can't be fun

Switch the hoses top and bottom and reverse flush.

I ran mine like this for a few days then switched them back to the original setup, then bleed as necessary from the radiator fill plug.
