there are two bolts on either side of the engine that must be taken off to flush all the radiator fluid out of the engine, do you know the location of these bolts, thanks.

why are you changing the radiator fluid?

Most likely since that cruddy, orange crap has formed in the resivoir. Probably about time for me to do it, too...so if you figure it out, Aaron, LMK.

I wanted to try out this new radiator fluid called Evan's npg+ on my future car and to do so the block must be completely drained and I can't seem to locate one of the bolts to drain the block and this stuff can't be mixed with water

Where's the drain plug?

mixerda

one on each side of the block about half way down on the right side(tranny side) ummmm lemme go check real quick what ya need for it. FYI the rear one will be a bitch to get to, nearly impossible with the manifolds on unless you go form the bottom but ya still have the rack and other things to get through I'll post pics for ya'll tonight

well.....its on the side of the radiator, but to get to it you have to take that black plastic off, which involves taking your front clip off, at least thats what I saw and thats why I didn't do it, I disconnect the hose right before the thermostat and drained it that way.....good luck

I'm taking my intake manifold off to be ported. If I removed the hose and thermostat, should I be drained enough to remove the intake manifold?

Aaron_Provost

iTrader: (4)

um the intake manifold doesn't hold radiator fluid....theres no need to do that

Oops! I'm used to my ford which has coolant passages! Well now that it's off time for a 180 degree thermostat too.

mixerda

Pics !!!

mixerda

jesus lol well I got a pic of the front(1-7) side one but the rear... well I can somewhat see it from the bottom.....I'll try and get pics of it or something that gives ya general idea of where it is lol. FYI good luck getting to these with the headers on. Once I get the springs in for the car and get the heads sent off to the shop I'll do the flush just waiting on springs still

Oh and drain plug for the radiator isn't that bad to get to either I'll take pics of how to get to that just a matter of getting your hand up in there and feeling around for the right spot, kinda like them damn females....mmm if I can stick my hand in there I might have to call it a night and go home..lol

could you tell me exactly where the plugs for the block and radiator are

mixerda

radiator is on the passenger side, if you look under the car you'll see a drain fitting where the fluid is allowed to drain form. Pull the plastic shield down or just remove it reach your hand up and you'll be able to feel the ****, might even be able to see it if ya look with a flashlight up there. Gonna be damn near impossible to turn by hand with just your finger tips, so get a set of pliers wiggle them up there and have at it takes a while to get a good angle to grip at and turn. For the block I gave up on it, but feel down on the side of the block on 7&8 can't miss em but unless you have a impact don't even try, motor needs to be removed form cradle IMO to remove the core plugs.
