need answer asap
ok so i sprayed a hose into the block of the engine in the hole where the water pump would sit and i barley get anything coming out of the opposite side , is that normal cause i dont have enough pressure from a hose ? cause i was wondering if there was a clog in the blog and the waterpump was never the problem
let me know asap, thanks all
UPDATE - SO OK I TOOK MY HOSE SPRAYED WATER INTO THE BLOCK , THE HOLES WHERE THE WATER PUMP GOES AND WATER COMES OUT OF BOTH SIDES - NOW MY QUESTION IS WHEN I SPRAYED WATER INTO THE HOLE ON THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WHERE THE THERMOSTATE WOULD GO - NO WATER COMES OUT THE HOLES WHERE THE WATER PUMP GOES - SHOULD THERE BE WATER THAT COMES OUT THE HOLES IN THE BLOCK WHERE THE WATER PUMP GOES IF YOU SPRAY WATER INTO THE THERMOSTATE HOLE ?
let me know asap, thanks all

Yes, if you take the water pump off and fill the thermostat hole in the intake with water, it should run out of the water pump holes. Did your intake manifold gaskets have little metal squares that were installed into the ends of the intake gaskets? If so, you might have the water restricted and the flow would be basically blocked.
