Could water pump fins be clogged?

[follervidez]

Hi every body I recently got my car back after sitting for 2 years getting the motor rebuilt. I fired her up drove it up and down the street and shut it off and heard the water boiling in the reservoir. Changed out the thermostat, it was stuck together. While doing the flush on the system I removed the plug in crossover tube and it looked like slug under it. While the car is on i Don't feel any pressure on the hoses, and while burping the system the water does not run through but instead starts to back up filling the funnel I'm using to eliminate the air bubbles. No leaks at all under the water pump, so I'm wondering could the water pump fins be clogged up and not flowing the water through???? Has that ever happened to anyone? Would there be a way to find out without removing the water pump??

Odds are slim on pump.

I tried the funnel method once..

Same as you..fluid just kept spitting out..

Normally I fill radiator cold to top..leave cap off..

Remove burp plug..fill there slowly until fluid comes out radiator..put radiator cap on and fill at burp plug till full..

Put burp plug on..don't over tighten..has Oring seal..

Start car..idle until fan comes on..

Shut off car..

Repeat steps..

This works for me..

Just last yr I replaced radiator.

It was cause of running hot..

This time I drilled 2 tiny holes in tstat..
