so ive been having problems with my supra. at first i thought i had another BHG but now its looking like a water pump. i am hearing a roller skate liek sound from my engine and my car is over heating. i have no exhaust bubbling up from the radiator and my oil isnt milky. i also have no heat when the heater is on full blast any suggestions

Check to see if something is blocking the flow of water into the water pump. If not and the pump is still making that sound, park the car and don't drive it until you put a new pump on!

also check the weep hole on the bottom of the pump. wet = time for a new pump. however a rollerskate sounding pump isnt good at all. my bros sounded like this and a new pump fixed it!

i just got finished pullin out the water pump. i cant feel anything wrong with it but id rather be safe the sorry. one other thing that i noticed was that that fan clutch was really stiff hard to turn but it could be done. i have no idea it this has any relation to my overheating problem cant imigian it does but its just something i noticed
