Thermostat the water pump and it is still getting hot?

Hi,

This can be the result of a few things. Most commonly, it is due to a partially plugged cooling system due to corrosion. With that, I would start by flushing and refilling the cooling system.

Here is a link that explains the flush and refill procedure:

If the system is clean already, the next thing to check is if there is an issue with a bad head gasket. If you look at the link below, it describes what to check for when suspecting a bad cylinder head gasket.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
