im pretty sure my waterpump has ceised (sp?) up in my civic.. (98 hx d16y5)

and its been making my car over heat pretty bad, its got 123k and i know there are some things that need replaced..

so my question is along with the waterpump what all else should i replace,
and i want to do everything at once since i need this car to get be back and forth to college for the next couple years..

+Timming belt tensioner...then you might as well do all your belts if it hasn't been done and at the same time check your valve clearence.

how do i go about checking the valve clearance??

and i was considering getting a compression test done as well, because im afraid my head gasket is close to going from all the over heating its been doing

any thing else to check?

Might as well replace the headgasket while you're at it then.

Head gasket
Timing belt
Thermostat
Timing belt tensioner
Coolant

Then, you'll be set in the cooling and keeping your head on department.
