Default Re: Emergency: How to run with broken radiator or water pump?

Don't pour water in to a hot engine unless it is running when you pour. I've made it home with broken water pumps and fans. Thermo syphon will take over. Heat rises and the water will still circulate through the radiator. I've never driven over two miles under such conditions
