Hi I recently put an injection pump in my 603.970. Started right up and was running great. I was letting the engine idle in the drive way so the thermostat would open and then I was going to top off the coolant. I walked away for a few minutes and when I came back the car was overheating and the gauge was in the red. I checked the thermostat and it opens. However I replaced it with a new one any way. Car still overheats. I took the waterpump out and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. I do hear a slight rubbing sound when I turn it by hand. The car definitely isn't getting any coolant through the upper hose. I checked the oil and there seems to be some antifreeze in the coolant now. Prior to the overheating there were no signs of coolant in the oil. My questions are: Since there is trace antifreeze in the oil does this definitiely mean the head gasket cracked from the overheating? Could a waterpump that seems to be ok not circulate the coolant for anyother reason and is there any other possible reasons for the coolant not to circulate? Car was sitting since feb. before I replaced the injection pump. When I fill the coolant from the resoivoir should coolant fill up the radiator and come out the top hose?
