Over heating.

[Arm&hammer]

My civic has a overheating problem.
I blead the radiator.
The water goes into the reservoir tank and starts spilling out.
I took out the thermostat and it's still doing the same thing.
I'm gonna buy an oem one tomorrow and replace it.
And the fans comes on.
Any ideas on what else could help?

Also could it be the water pump? If so what are the signs of a bad water pump?

water pump

Well tomorrow i'm going to change my head gasket, water pump, Thermostat and timing belt.
Should this fix my problem or could there be other things wrong?

same thing i was thinking.....that's when i knew to change my headgasket on my old eg, it would start spewing coolant into the engine bay, lol

^^yup...i had an old sentra and everytime you turned the A/C it would pop the headgasket and then my coolant resevoir would turn into 'OL faithful...went through 3 before i figured it out....I was 16
