Water pumps are belt driven pumps used to circulate engine coolant (50/50 water and antifreeze) through the engine, around the combustion chambers. Passages direct coolant near the intake and exhaust ports & spark plugs. As the engine reaches normal operating temperature, A thermostat opens and allows coolant to flow through the radiator, cooling the coolant, and then returning back to the engine. Tom
