Hmm. If you spray water through the hole in the intake where the thermostat usually is, where does it come out? You will probably have to spray a lot in.
i didnt take out the thermostat, it's located pretty much right above where the water pump goes. i changed it out a while back, hoping it would fix this problem.
there are 2 sides to the water pump that look like they run the length of the block. i sprayed water into the left side hole expecting it to come out the right side...eventually. but it never did. it's supposed to rain all day, so i cant work on it too much. i'm gonna look through my chiltons manual and the tech library and see if i can find out where it could clog.
i'm still tryin to get the engine fan off the old water pump, looks like it is rusted on.
