What is the flow direction for a 94 Chevy 305 water pump?

Coolant is sucked in from the lower radiator hose, pumped into both sides of the block, through the block, up into both heads, through the heads, out the front of both heads into the intake manifold, out through the thermostat housing, into the upper radiator hose and back into the radiator. All coolant connections on the exterior of the water pump are return/suction.


Why is there no water flow in a radiator when cap is off?

The water does not flow through the radiator until the engine is at operating temperature. At that time the thermostat will open and allow it to flow.Sometimes you are unable to see it, depending on the direction of flow. Increase the engine rpm and you should notice a change.

How you can stop reverse rotation of cw pump?

Are you sure it's pumping in the wrong direction? It should be pulling water from the radiator through it's lower hose. Water will be returning to the radiator through the upper hose past the thermostat after it warms up. If your water is flowing the wrong direction and you have a mechanical pump ( one with a belt on it ) you will have to replace it. If you have a uni-belt setup (serpentine belt), it may be on incorrectly. If you have an electrical water pump ( probably aftermarket ) reverse the polarity on the power connection.

Why is water put in a radiator?

Water is put in a radiator because it is used to transfer heat from the engine to the outside environment through the process of convection. The water absorbs heat from the engine and then circulates through the radiator to release it, helping to cool the engine and prevent it from overheating.


Does water flow through the fins in a car radiator?

No, water does not flow through the fins in a car radiator. The fins are there to dissipate heat from the coolant circulating through the radiator tubes. Air passing over the fins helps cool down the hot coolant flowing through the tubes.
