The water pump forces the coolant to move through the water jackets after the thermostat is open to the manufacturer to the temp. spec. After the thermostat is open the coolant flows through the radiator to help control the cooling. When you turn on the heater the hot water flows through the heater core and back in the return line to the engin block.

Does antifreeze flow through the valves?
Cylinder head where valves are-usually. Valves themselves, no. Antifreeze passes around the engine in special chambers known as galleries. It cools the metalwork of the engine and does not (or should not) enter any part of the combustion, or intake system.
Why is water coming from where you put the antifreeze in instead of flowing through?
A STUCK THERMOSTAT WILL DO THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS 2 GET WARM-THEN ALOT OF WATER WILL BOIL OUT--------IF THE THERMO IS GOOD -U WILL C WATER MOVEMENT(FLOW) AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS UP.
How do you get antifreeze to the motor after changing thermostat?
The water pump will pump coolant(antifreeze & water) through the engine after the thermostat opens up.
How do you get over flowed antifreeze out of radiator?
You really do not need to. Put the cap on and run the engine, the excess will flow into the overflow canister.
Can antifreeze get into the engine through a faulty heater core or water pump?
through a cracked heater core - possible.
What is the effect of antifreeze?
Antifreeze is used as an engine coolant. While keeping an engine from overheating, the liquid also disperses the heat through the vehicles heater core, giving passengers warmth in the winter.
What might be wrong with a 1993 Jeep Cherokee when the temp gauge goes in the red and a have no heat?
Sounds like the thermostat is stuck. It is supposed to open when the engine heats up to keep the engine cool. The same antifreeze fluid is used to heat the inside of the car. If the thermostat is stuck in the closed position, the fluid cannot flow through the engine (thus cooling it) and through the heat exchanger to heat the passenger cab.

Can a stuck thermostat cause a temp gauge not to work?
yes if the thermostat is stuck open the gauge will read low the water or antifreeze will flow straight through the engine and radiater if it is stuck closed it will over heat your car
Why is your car engine not heating up enough?
make sure antifreeze is 50/50 mix. The thermostat has failed in the open position allowing coolant to flow constantly through the radiator and take longer to reach operating temp.
How do you remove air from coolant in a 93 dodge stealth?
The air in the antifreeze on a 1993 Dodge Stealth will bleed out if you leave the coolant cap (the cap that screws onto the radiator hose connecting tube, NOT the antifreeze overflow plastic cap) off while the engine warms up. After the thermostat opens when the engine is warm, the antifreeze will start to flow from the engine, through the upper radiator hose, and into the top of the radiator. When you do not see bubbles at the filler neck where you removed the cap, the air should be expelled and you can put the cap back on.
Where is your car leaking antifreeze?
out of the over flow
Why do people put antifreeze into a car radiator for the winter?
So that the coolant can stay in liquid form and flow through the cooling system.
