Changed, thermostat, waterpump and top radiator hose, car still says its overheating and i got no heat inside?

i have a 2000 chevy cavalier, as i was driving home4, the top radiator hose blew on me i stopped and replaced it, since then the car overheats, and doesn't have any heat in the compartment. I figured it might be the thermostat so i changed that which was a pain in my ***, since the nut was rounded off... but since i got it off i figured that i might as well change my water pump, i put the car back together, filled it with antifreeze, started her up but still no heat, and the car still is over heating .... i checked for water in the compartment incase the heater core was leaking but no water? im lost? any ideas?

How would i go about checking if the head gasket is blown? i checked my oil and its a nice brown color, from what i understand thats a good thing.... um... its really cold now adays, so seeing anything out of the tail pipe is kinda hard, um... if it was a head gasket.... is it something easy to fix?



any other ideas?

if your lower raditor hose is not collasping rev motor look and see if its not that time for a new radiator
refill the radiation with coolant...



had the same problem with my parents' 04 explorer - thermostat was OK, hoses replaced, still no heat and overheating engine.....turned out it was completely out of coolant.
It sounds to me when you overheated the engine you may of cracked the head or blew the head gasket, either one would give you no heat in driving compartment ans the overheating problem
