2003 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.7L. Thermostat stuck in closed position, top and bottom radiator hoses were sucked flat. Engine overheated. Replaced both hoses, thermostat, radiator cap. Runs, but a serious noise coming from engine. Doesn't sound like when a rod bearing goes bad, but I am wondering if the water pump was seriously damaged. Won't drive it for fear of more damage. I am preparing to remove everything to get at the pump and inspect the timing belt as well. Thoughts, anyone?
