Radiators
Maybe the most stupid question ever but are radiators directional
i.e. does it matter if the feed to the water pump is via the top not bottom hose?
Engine CBR1000 with Micra rad
Thanks

If the water level falls only by a fraction, the water pump will not pull any coolant at all giving you external piston syndrome
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

CBR1000 with no coolant, probably all four would play that game
