That last statement leads me to question if you did indeed have a water pump
failure here...
Maybe it's just as simple as a stuck (closed) thermostat) or something as
serious as a head gasket leaking compression pressure into the coolant...
Most waterpump failures signal themselves with noise or leaks or both; not
the failure to circulate water.
Good Luck, Chuck
