Also, check the water pump pulley for play. If you feel any play, replace the pump. If the pump fails, besides risking overheating, the WP impeller usually breaks up and you risk clogging the cooling system with pieces of the impeller, which can lead to catastrophic engine failure after you replace the WP.
