My Camry was pushing water out of the radiator after it was warmed up and was making noise at the timing belt so I Changed the cap on the radiator replaced the water pump, the bearings were going out,and the themostat. My problem is it smells hot when I drive it but the gauge shows it in normal range.

Hi there,

Keep an eye on the temp gauge and the coolant level, make sure that the heater is working and there is no air trapped in the system, this my be a case of old coolant on the exhaust and after a few days it may not smell as bad, check for any minor oil leaks onto the exhaust as well as this can make the engine smell hot. check this out as well.
