It will overheat, and could end up blowing the head gasket.

What is heavier an air cooled car engine or a water cooled car engine?
The water cooled engine will typically be heavier, because you have to add in the water pump, the radiator and the water/coolant. The engine block itself may be lighter as there are passages drilled out for the water/coolant to flow through.
Does engine have to be running when you add oil to your car?
no you check your oil with car off easier when car is cooled off
Does the cooling fins on a car engine?
On cars that have them they are air cooled since there is no radiator.
What happens if there is no engine in the car?
Car no move
Why does a car need water in its engine?
Water or coolant keeps the engine cool . -Some engines are air cooled.
Is an air cooled car lighter or heavier than a water cooled car engine?
An air cooled car will be lighter. The air cooled engine has a single thin walled engine block for air cooling just like an air cooled motorcycle or early VW Beetle. There is no antifreeze, radiator, water pump, hoses, etc, that a water cooled car would have. The water cooled engines have two walls (an inner wall for the pistons, etc, and the outer wall to hold the water) to help carry the water around the hot spots of the motor so you have twice the metal plus the weight of the water, etc. There's probably 200lbs to 300lbs savings.
Can a car engine exceed 500 degrees?
No. Car engines are cooled by water (under pressure), so they run at or aground 100 degrees Celsius. Of cause in the combustion chamber and at the exhaust temperatures are much higher.
What happens when you spray an engine with water and then drive the car Now my car does not start at all.?
you got water under the distributer that shorted out the electrical components
Is a airplane engine heavier than a car engine?
Almost always. Unless the airplane happens to be an ultralight, or the car happens to be a Hummer.
What is the purpose of the car radiator?
The engine of a car contains many passages through which water can flow. The water picks up excess heat from the car engine and then passes through the radiator, where it is cooled by the rapid flow of air. The cooled water then returns to the engine to pick up more excess heat. So to put it simply: the radiator cools the water which cools the engine.
Can you use 20w-50 car oil in my lawnmower?
No, absolutely not. It is far to heavy for an air cooled lawn mower engine. Use 10w30 or 30 weight in the summer. I recommend synthetic for an air cooled engine.
Does antifreeze go in a diesel engine?
Yes, in the radiator, unless it's air cooled (I don't know of any air cooled diesel car/truck engines)
