95 Legecy, water pump/thermostat

[p51mustang]

I just replaced the front seals and waterpump. It acts like the water pump
is not turning. I get no blowing hot air inside the car. I put in a new
thermostat, then tried the old one. Same problem with both. If I remove
the bleeder screw from the radiator just steam comes out. All worked fine
before. Temp gauge goes to hot position.

probably need to replace the rad cap, purge air outta the system
(elevate fron end on curb/ramps whatever, select heat inside/ fill
o'flow with coolant, run till fans come on, allow to cool, monitor
o'flow for several drive cycles)
OR
you have a bad headgasket.
