[Roadsters] Quick overheating

[ljordan704 at netscape.net]

 If the waterpump is not leaking from below, what is the best way to test it? Can you assume it works if both radiator? hoses get hot thus assuming the water is circulating? Or could the water get hot without a functioning water pump?
TIA

Linda

2 thoughts, first is 'doh'-
it does have a fan belt on it, right?

Second is, if a compression test turns out ok,
check the water pump.  They don't usually fail,
but it's possible.  Or, a large piece of crud
has gotten loose and blocked a passage....
