soo i changed the thermostat and the needle still doesnt sit where it should....the fan does come on then turn off....both hoses from the radiator do get hot...the oil is clean and no leaks so no head problems....and the fluid in the resovoir tank never boils so its not overheating....

should i not be worried....could this be a water pump...thanks..

How many miles do you have on it? Usually it is a good idea to replace the water pump when you replace the timing belt...
