Waterpump would not cause this. Definitely a blown head gasket but be sure to change the water pump while you're in there or you'll have to do all that labor again in a few months. I know from experience. Get free online repair manual at autozone.com to help ya do it. Goodluck i beg to differ the water pumps on the quad 4's are known to be unreliable, and they do leek coolant into the oil when they break because it comes in around the shaft that powers the oil pump this is not an arguable point i have been working on quad fours for a while and i have seen many instances of this the water pumps on the twin cam engines are better but they still have the same problem they just last longer

Why does my 1999 Oldsmobile Alero over heat?
As with any car, low coolant will cause this car to overheat. Common areas of coolant lose are the water pump or intake manifold gaskets. If the coolant is full, then another common problem is blown headgaskets- especially the rear head. A blown headgasket introduced compression into the cooling system causing air pocket / bubbles. This will cause an overheat.- TechJK -----------------------------------------------------------

it is possible for heat from combustion to cause an engine to overheat quickly depending on where the gasket is blown, but i would look for a lack of coolant circulation first. if your coolant is not getting out of the motor and into the radiator it will overheat very quickly.
