Is your water pump the correct pump for your engine? (Forward vs Reverse Rotation)

Is the water pump impeller intact and undamaged? Physically check, don't assume because it's new.

Is the thermostat opening at the correct temperature? Verify what temp it's opening at in a pot of water on the stove.

Is the fan the correct one for your engine? (Forward vs Reverse Rotation) And is it facing the right direction?
