The cooling radiator needs to be used to keep the oil from overheating. If the lines are plugged, the engine could be ruined.
AnswerRadiators work by radiating heat into the air and cooling the engine. Coolant flows through the engine block and then to the radiator. The cooling fan helps keep the radiator cool allowing the heat to be put out into the air. This is correct
There is a drain valve at the bottom of the radiator and you will have to remove the drain bolt in the engine block.
Radiator, fan, water pump, hoses, heater core, thermostat, engine block, radiator cap,...
A hole in the radiator would do that, or a damaged radiator cap. It could be a cracked engine block that is allowing cylinder pressure into the cooling system, pressurizing the water until it breaks through a weak spot in the radiator.
Follow the main hose that goes from radiator to engine block. It is on engine block between the main hose connected to engine block and a pullye. The heat gauge wire is snapped on the sensor. Remove the wire and replace the sensor.
Cooling system thermostat is at the bottom of the engine. Look for the lower radiator hose and trace it back to where it attaches to the engine block. Bingo!
Drain coolant from radiator and engine block Remove passenger's side rear freeze plug and replace with block heater kit
Follow the TOP radiator hose to the engine block Remove the hose from the engine block. Thermostat should pop out. Some screw in, most pop out.
Have the vehicle running when refilling the radiator, or top off radiator after engine warms up, and thermostat opens (temperature gauge will drop). Some engines have a cooling system bleeder you can crack open and fill the radiator until coolant comes out of the bleeder. The bleeder is generally located at the highest point of the cooling system on the engine.

The process of the engine creates huge amounts of heat. Water is past through the engine block (that is where the cylinders are ) where it collects heat from the case body of the engine block and its taken to the radiator where air is passed through the radiator cooling the water. The cycle continues. If the water did not circulate then the engine would expand considerably, the cylinders will also then expand as would the moving parts to the point where the friction would cause the engine to cease up.
on the top hose from the radiator to the engine just befre the block on the top hose from the radiator to the engine just befre the block
