Default Re: Water flow

Mike and Henry, What I was trying to say was not that the pump should pump as much water as possible. Obviously, there is trouble ahead if it pumps more than the radiator can handle as you say. I was referring to the myth that if the water is flowing too fast through the rad, it doesn't get time to cool so slowing it down will improve cooling. The best way to straighten that out I think is to point out that if the water spends so little time in the radiator that it can't cool, then it doesn't spend enough time in the engine to get hot either.
