What way does a radiator flow?
Radiators flow in from the top hose (where the thermostat is often in line) and exit out the bottom back to the block. The water pump moves the water through the thermostat to the radiator.
Where does the coolant go in an engine block?
heat. After doing its thing, the coolant flows through the upper hose to the radiator where it releases the heat. Then, the water pump sends it back down into the engine’s water jackets to continue the cooling process.
How does coolant flow from the radiator to the engine?
After doing its thing, the coolant flows through the upper hose to the radiator where it releases the heat. Then, the water pump sends it back down into the engine’s water jackets to continue the cooling process.
How to check the coolant flow direction in a Honda?
fill the sys, take the top hose off the radiator (still on engine), remove themostate and leave the rad cap on and watch the water get shot out of the top neck of rad…a trick to see if water pump is defective haha, yeah I could do that if no one knows… which is pretty surprising.
What’s the rating on the coolant flow radiator?
The temperature at which the thermostat is designed to open is called its rating, and may be stamped on the body. The 180 Degrees F thermostat begins to open at (you guessed it!) 180 Degrees F and is fully opened at 200 degrees F. Different engines use different temperature thermostats.
Which is direction does coolant flow to the radiator?
Okay, once and for all, coolant flow direction… Which direction does coolant flow to the radiator? I’m doing a custom build and need to know where to plumb in bleed lines, so it matters.

How does an engine coolant pump work in a car?
Unwanted heat is passed from the radiator into the air stream, and the cooled liquid then returns to an inlet at the bottom of the block and flows back into the channels again. Usually the pump sends coolant up through the engine and down through the radiator, taking advantage of the fact that hot water expands,…
