Default Antifreeze / Overflow Issues (2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport)

My engine keeps spitting out antifreeze out of the overflow after it has been filled back up to where it’s suppose to be. It always does it after the engine has been shut off. Would anyone know what is causing this? It also heats up a bit more when I’m idling like in a drive through.

It has a new radiator cap, radiator, water pump, thermostat & gasket.

Are you sure the radiator cap is the spec pressure?

Secondly, you might want to take a few minutes to read up on the Jeep 0331 head defect if you're not already familiar with it.
