As the others said, no need to add a water pump as long as things are well maintained. But, you need to make sure the radiator and the block are as clean as you can get them.

Also run water through the radiator. Also, you need to check the coolant level frequently to make sure it is at the proper level per the operators manual. If you are doing heavy work and you let the level get low, you can burn some valves. First to go will be number 4 cylinder, because it is at the back end and gets the least cooling.
