Just some options for you to look at. You said you changed the pump and thermostat, t-stat is in correctly right? You also say that you have no heat, but the car is getting really hot, that tells me you have a possible blockage, or a really big air bubble in your system. You said you see water on the radiator?.....mabe your radiator has a leak....?

If you have no heat then most likely you have a clogged up heater core. Take it someone and have them flush the system or try it yourself with a garden hose. I used a hose with an attachment that shot the water out with a decent amount of pressure and just ran it through the heater core, alternating hoses, until the water started coming out clear again. This may work for you and it may not. Just something to try.
