@@harnoor1220 blown engine.

@@abdullast3434 ours was a blown engine… head gasket fried and more. We junked it.

Can’t remember on this one! It was a few months back but yes, depending on the engine you can usually do that.

Had blown engine :(

Blown engine? What exactly was wrong with it?

We would just replace it 😀

Engine Sounds rough. I hope he's using distilled water at least.

I just changed it but I’m starting to think its spinning the wrong way! Can’t find anything online about this but when I spin it the way the engine spins, the pump vanes are the wrong direction. Which would cause all these problems…

Is the belt ran on the right side of the water pump pulley? Only reason for the water pump to spin the wrong way

I had a bad head gasket one time that would cause issue with water flow. Basically your coolant system has to have pressure to work. Meaning thermostat in and cap on I guess

Vacuum bleeding solved my issues with air pockets

The whole radiator is full of coolant. If I squeeze any hose anywhere in the system water comes out the reservoir fill. Can’t imagine any air in the system… so I think its either exhaust air leaking in (a lot of it) or maybe the water pump is spinning the wrong direction??

@@OldTownMarineLLCas a mechanic by trade that has had 3 AC delco water pumps in a row that didn’t pump ( I changed the rad after the first pump didn’t fix the issue) I ended up putting a used pump on the engine because that’s all I could get and I had to get it running, the covid QC issues are still out there, buy a different brand of water pump and im willing to bet it will solve the problem, but check for cavitation erosion on the engine side when you have it out as well

Spaced wrong from new is my guess, AC delco had a problem with that during covid supply shortages

He just replaced it..

I have a 08 Nissan doing the same damn thing but it has 2 thermostats I figured it was a small head gasket leak or maybe flush the system out cause the car sat for 3 or 4 years

That's what it looks like to me as well but he said he just replaced it so it must be full of air,

@@ImigrentfromMarsit depends on the pump, I stopped buying AC delco water pumps because I had this exact problem with them, I put 3 on in a row before I went to the boneyard and pulled a used one and the problem was solved, I should add that I changed the rad after the first pump didn’t pump because I figured it had to be a supply issue, but the rad didn’t help anything, during covid supply issues I had a lot of problems with a lot of parts

You mean the radiator hose going into the water pump? I cant think of way it could have air in it with the way I filled it. I could see if the hose clamp was loose and it was pulling in air but it cavitates, pulls so much air, so fast that its just a water pump spinning in air. It’s almost instantaneous when I fire the engine.
