I'm thinking of replacing the water pump buutt -Water Pump was replaced 30K miles ago by previous owner (Have records), should I? I replaced both the thermostat and radiator - I did this 2 months ago & my over heating issues continued. I noticed the white smoke a day or two later and temp gauge...

Thanks for the link! I will say that being this far in the job- I'd really like to go ahead and replace the head rather than the complete engine. I'm a good head away from starting the reasembaly process- time is another factor in all this, like I said- I've been at this for over a month. Do...
