Default Cooling system question!!

Hey guys, im runnin a b17a in my 97 hatch w/ stock radiator. I have noticed that the system seems to be building too much pressure---> After toping the coolant completely off, i drive the car around for an hour. When i cut the car off i notice the resevoir is COMPLETELY full of coolant. Also, i can let the car sit for 2 days after driving it, then open the radiator cap and STILL release pressure. My question is what could be causing there to be so much pressure and why is it not bleeding it off?? The coolant overflowing from the resevoir is making things messy! PLEASE HELP!

Coolant normally expands when it gets hot. If you're getting more coolant than usual in the reservoir, you may have a blown headgasket.
