Question Is there anyway? (coolant)

Is there anyway to easily drain all coolant from the motor for a complete coolant change?

Hmm. Don't know if removing plugs on side of block will completely drain it or not. I just flushed and filled mine. Used filtered water to flush with and then distilled water, also removed thermostat and flushed through the top radiator hose pretty well. Ended up calculating what was still in the block vs. capacity after last radiator drainout and mixed the coolant/distilled water so as to end up with about a 70/40 mix. Works for me, anyway. And I have never had any air bubble problems, BTW.
Ha Ha, I meant 60/40 mix.
