draining and flushing coolant out of block!?

Anyone know where the drain plugs are for the coolant located on a b16?? It is somewhere near the oil filter?

the drain plug to release coolant is on the front of the block underneath the motor stamp. it should be right below and to the right of the "b16a" stamp.

i think its a 19mm bolt with a washer on it.

not necessary. the radiator draincock is the lowest point in the system. drain -fill with distilled water-run heat-drain-fill with honda premix(add some redline if you are inclined) or 50% prestone(or something brand name) and 50% distilled water.
