Car began to over heat. Replaced the thermostat and it wasn't that. Thermostat looked and operated in the way that it should. Dig deeper and decided to replace the water pump. 3 weeks later and a few thousand dollars I still don't have a running vehicle. My timing chain some how had got eaten up and is also in pieces. The original water pump looked fine, moved fine, all gaskets were fine, the color of what was running through my water pump tho, was not fine. It was a copper color almost a dark brown. Nasty looking.
