Car overheating big time, need help! I had a very slight coolant leak, so I replaced the gaskets and got the car all back together. It didn't overheat before, it just had a slight leak. I put one jug of dex in, then started the car, then proceeded to put more water in. It only took another half jug of water. The coolant dipstick says its full, but the temp gauge goes into the red and keeps going 
I've had the water pump off a few months ago during my cam swap, and no problems overheating since. Whats funny now, is that the heater and defroster don't blow hot air... WTF is going on here? Gotta be something simple. Could I have broken the pump putting it back on? It doesn't seem like there is any coolant flow into the engine, the radiator lines don't get hot.
Please help!
