The 98 subaru forester overheats. Test says head gasket OK.

What is your question?

Mechanic says no coolant leak into oil, no oil leak into coolant. Added 2 qts. of coolant and burped radiator. It takes about 5 miles of driving to heater to start blowing cold air. Temp gage goes to red overheat. Could it be the thermostat?
