Sounds like you have air bubble in the coolant lines. There is a bleeder screw on the heater core, or you can bleed through the drain on the radiator. Dont drive with it like that, you could warp a head and end up with a leaking head gasket [:'(]

If it was your water pump, youd hear a gawdawful sound coming from it. The impellor is plastic (if not upgraded to the metal type) and shatters over time causing the bits of pieces to clank around inside the pump housing. Hopefully you didnt put the thermostat in backwards
