could just be a leak in the coolent system. Or more likely when the cap is off the pressure that stops it boiling is released, and it starts to boil and you see bubbles.
A more accurate sign is water in the oil imho.
 Whats the oil like? Any mayo or white deposits on the dip stick!

Nothing odd about replacing HG on 2.2 petrol, you'll have no probs if you've done HGs in the past :)
