This is not a recommended use for CLR.
People have done this and report no adverse result's, but I would not.
engine implodes
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).
On bottom of radiator either on driver or passenger side facing engine.
a jet ski uses the water its in to cool the engine through various hoses wich pass through its engine. if its a closed loop system, it uses a radiator in much the same way as a car. the same water/antifreez is constantly cooled by the radiator.
The one in the engine compartment, moves air thru the radiator to cool the engine. The one in the cab, moves air to either heat or cool the compartment.
No, but it can cause severe engine damage if you keep running the engine.
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.
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.

The water pump circulates it through and it either goes across or down then back into engine.

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.
. Solubility _____,
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.
You most likely have a blown headgasket.
A car's radiator is used to help keep the engine cool. During operation, an engine's moving parts create friction, which produces heat. Coolant flows through the engine picking up that head and travels back to the radiator where it is cooled down by air flowing through the radiator coils. The cool coolant then travels back through the engine completing the cycle over and over.
Add coolant, with a cold engine for safety, through the "radiator" cap in the upper hose.Add coolant, with a cold engine for safety, through the "radiator" cap in the upper hose.
