    Default Over heating.

    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?

    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?
