So does anything work smoothly?

Got the water pump and thermostat in. Hoses connected and belt on. Filled system up with distilled water. It only took about 3.5 gals. Ran it with heater on high and fan on high till radiator fans went on all the while checking coolant level. It seemed to stay the same or get higher. I also noticed that the bleeder plug, which was in the closed position, was actually raised to the open position. Turned car off. Cap was hard to open. When I did get it open a water started spewing out from under he cap. Didn't want to open it all the way. I know there should be pressure but this seemed excessive. What's up?

Thanks.
