If you've already replaced the thermostat, it could be a head gasket. I did a half ass cylinder leak test once. Got a hose from a compression guage adapted to hose from my air compressor. Put a cylinder up on top dead center, pump up that cylinder, take the coolant cap off and see if the coolant rises. if so it needs a head gasket. If the air kicks the engine over, you'll have to get it back up on tdc and try again. Another post lately had a oily belt slipping on the water pump, make sure that's ok
