If the water pump failed it would stop the engine, your main concern is has it bent any valves in the head?

Not neccessarily. The impellor can break up without the cambelt side of it stopping.

Your best chance is to remove the water pump and use a hose to back flush the coolant system via the drivers side main coolant hose from the rad.

i replaced the orginal waterpump on mine at 100k, the blades to the pump where metal.

The GM replacement had plastic blades, what have you got in the coolant? pure water?  :o
