first see if the fans run when it gets hot , then you should have tested the old thermostat in a pan of water on the stove to see if that was the problem , corrosion can eat up the impellers in the water pump I guess you can pull a coolant hose to see if it's doing it's job . A compression test will show if the head gasket is bad
