Noise after installing new Boiler

MaryAnn

This time I've posted pictures of my new Boiler install. My situation is that after the Burnham V84 was installed, there has been some changes:
1) bathroom rad doesn't heat at all (it's right above boiler)
2) 2 radiators (the tubular ones)have some water spitting out.
3)most radiators in house (mid size ranch) are convectors.
4) one bedroom convector radiator has a lot of noise.
5) noise happens a few minutes after cycle begins.
6) I checked b/r rad. and see that the valve is badly corroded. (the wall even has some water damage next to it).
7) I have insulated pipes 2" fiberglass(can I insulate pipes around boiler?).
8) I read Dan's book (we got steam heat), and I'm concerned that I don't see vents on the mains. I insulated pipes and saw nothing that looked like a vent. (want to take one thing at a time though - $ purposes)
9) for now the house is warm but -
Questions: I'll try to change vents myself; if not, maybe call the contractor back after heating season?
10) oh, the water in the glass is now clear - before it was very dirty.
11) I will pitch one radiator (tubular) that spits; the other would be very difficult.
12) after heating season, I was thinking of call him back to check things out but wanted some advice first.

I appreciate all the support and feedback from the pros on the WALL.
