Pouring cold water on an overheated engine?
Not a good idea, you may and probably will crack and warp vital parts. Let it cool down on its own before even adding cold coolant into the system.
Why would the engine have no oil pressure when it is cold?
this is normal, when the car is cold or off. the oil sinks down in to the oil pan.,. If this is a GM engine you may be using an aftermarket oil filter that allows oil to drain back this is not a good thing and can cause engine damage. GM has a TSB on this very problem.

gelidity
What is the problem with not using antifreeze on your car?
If it gets cold enough the coolant will freeze and crack the block if there is no antifreeze.
What could cause the AC to quit putting out cold air and the temperature gauge to rise?
Hey Ken==Check the coolant in the radiator WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. Sometimes the coolant recovery bottle wilpopiooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool still have coolant but the rad low. GoodluckJoe
Could pouring cold water on an overheated engine cause the engine block to crack?
Most definitely.
Can extreme temperatures break down rocks?
I will say yes on this one. It will cause them to crack, both extreme cold and heat. A rock will also melt with extreme heat. Not sure of the temp.
What can cause crack block or leak in head gasket in 95 impala SS?
A cracked block or a leak in the head gasket of the 1995 Impala SS can be caused by overheating the motor or even by drastic temperature changes. For example, adding cold water to the motor when an engine is hot can cause the block to crack. Gaskets sometimes leak when worn or when exposed to extreme temperatures.Ê
Can driving on a cold morning without allowing the engine to idle and warm up cause the engine to crack or be damaged?
not typically , extreme lower temps won't allow the engine to move quickly = it is better to warm the engine some 2-3 minutes minimum. the cracks could be from frozen water (not enough antifreeze) in the coolant passages .
Will water leaking into engine cause a crack?
YES! if you get your car nice and hot on a drive of 10min or more, warm to cold water can cause local cooling, and couse stress cracks
When cleaning the exterior of an engine block can cold water make an engine block crack when the engine is at operating temperature?

Do mirrors crack in the cold?
Mirrors are made of glass, which can crack due to sudden changes in temperature, including exposure to extreme cold. The expansion and contraction of the glass can create stress on the mirror, leading to cracks if the temperature change is too abrupt.
What would happen if you freeze a jawbreaker?
Freezing a jawbreaker may cause it to become harder and more difficult to bite into due to the cold temperature. It could also potentially crack or shatter if subjected to extreme cold for an extended period of time.
What could cause a knocking sound on a 1995 Nissan Pathfiner when the engine hits 3000 RPMs?
If the engine knocks when it is cold, it might be a crack in the exhaust manifold, or possibly a crack in on of the exhaust manifold bolts leading to the block. The crack is small, and once warm will swell shut, thereby stopping the noise. Without repair, it might lead to valve exhaust valve damage.
Why shouldn't you pour boiling water into a cold glass?
Pouring boiling water into a cold glass can cause the glass to shatter due to the extreme temperature difference. The sudden expansion and contraction of the glass can cause it to crack or break. It is safer to gradually heat up the glass or use tempered glass that is designed to withstand thermal shocks.
Can engine coolant freeze?
only in very extreme cold temperatures. like -40
