I searched and only came up with the location for newer engines with the coolant drain right above the engine stamp on the block. I'm doing my thermostat and waterpump tonight.

Thanks

 

The radiator drain plug is a little plug on the bottom of the radiator. It's a little plastic plug, no bolt.

I realize that... I am asking if/where the drain bolt is located on the block.

This is what I am looking for (from an ITR) but the obd0 b16 does not have it in this spot.

 

Why the hell do you need to drain it from there anyways??

Because he's doing his waterpump and he doesn't want to splash it all over?

As far as where the actual drain plugs are, I'm not sure. I'd check the back of the block under neath the waterpipe.

 

Yeah pretty sure its back there.

 

Thanks guys, I'll have a look tonight. It looks like some newer D series have the drain bolt on the back near the oil filter, so I got a few different places to look for.

 

There is a drain there but it is hidden by
the bracket for the O2 sensor wiring..

Great

 

so where on the block is it located on older d-series motors?

 

It is in the same basic location as the b series..
