Can you damange radiator or engine by flush?

You will not damage the engine but you can damage the radiator if you use any high pressure. If you only flush and apply no pressure you will do no damage. Use a chemical flush and a water hose and you will be safe.


Can a damaged head gasket directly damage your radiator?

No, but it can cause severe engine damage if you keep running the engine.


What is proper fan sucking air through radiator to engine or blowing from engine to the radiator?

Actually, both are used. However, it is more common to pull air through the radiator towards the engine. This draws cooler outside air through the radiator. Pushing air from the engine towards the radiator means that you are pulling hot air from around the engine towards the radiator.

What does the radiator in a car do?

As coolant cycles through the engine, it absorbs heat from the engine, after which, it continues through the cooling system back to the radiator. As the coolant passes through the radiator, the heat is exchanged to the ambient air by way of airflow through the radiator fins (this is why it's important not to bend the radiator fins).


Does pouring water into the reserve tank in over heating car causes damage?

It can. You should leave the engine running while you add water to the radiator. If you add water with the engine turned off, but while the engine is overheated, you might damage the engine or the radiator.


Engine hot cooling not hot?

Engine is Hot, Coolant is not HOThere engine is hot means above the engine operating temperature, Coolant is not hot means coolant in the radiator is not hot and the coolant is below or withing the operating temperature.i think there is no water blow out from the radiator cap if you have this problem then the following will not apply to your case.* water is not circulating through the radiator, either half of the pumped water is circulating through the radiator or another half circulates through the engine block because of thermostat. so please check the engine thermostat for proper function.


Why a car needs a radiator to operate effectively?

The process of the engine creates huge amounts of heat. Water is past through the engine block (that is where the cylinders are ) where it collects heat from the case body of the engine block and its taken to the radiator where air is passed through the radiator cooling the water. The cycle continues. If the water did not circulate then the engine would expand considerably, the cylinders will also then expand as would the moving parts to the point where the friction would cause the engine to cease up.

Would a blocked thermostat force water out radiator?

No, a blocked thermostat would not force water out of the radiator. A blocked thermostat would prevent the proper flow of coolant through the engine, leading to overheating and potential damage to the engine. Water may overflow from the radiator due to other issues like a malfunctioning radiator cap or pressure buildup.


Engine oil entered in radiator and air bubbles comes out through radiator when engine is running?

You most likely have a blown headgasket.


What is the purpose of the overflow tube in a car's radiator system?

The purpose of the overflow tube in a car's radiator system is to allow excess coolant to flow out of the radiator when the engine is hot and the coolant expands, preventing pressure buildup and potential damage to the radiator or engine.
