i got a 1992 accord, f22a engine. i am looking for a plug or similar to drian the coolant out of the block. i know b series they have one right on the front of block(exhaust side) but i cant seem to find one on the f22. or does anyone know a way to drain the coolant out of the block, around sleeves, coolants passages, etc. if someone could help that would be great, thanks

 

Back side, around oil filter, there is a drain bolt for the block. Sorry don't have any pic's handy.

 

only one i could find was allen head right under oil filter but it was oil. is it above the oil filter? is it allen head or reg. socket? gonna go check again.

thanks alot redbull, how come that did not come up in my search? what keywords you use?

 

"Redbull-1" posts, lol. I remembered I posted it before.

 

Yup, the bolt is located behind the block and the bolt is pretty big in size(thats what she said).

 

well now new problem, the bolt is stripped out. i have tried everything i can think of except the "gator grip" lol. does not look like i will be able to get out with the motor in the car. anyone know of a different way to remove the water from around the sleeves(without removing the head)? anywhere i could get access to a water passage and siphon it out?

 

Can I ask why it is important to get this out?

 

got a hairline crack in the block and need to remove the water so i can have it welded. the crack is on a water jacket i gues, right behind header on exhaust side of block. i tried to braze it with hts-2000 rod but when you heat it up a little bit of water seeps through the crack.

 

Ouch.....Pull a freeze plug and siphon?????? If the bolt won't come out, about all I've got. Good luck.

 

could always flip the car on its side









jk

 

well.....is there anyway you can tig-weld a piece of something to the bolt???....or you might have to take it to a shop and see

 

prob could not get to it to weld something to it, what would cranking the car with hoses off do? would the water pump shoot the water out? i mean i know at thermo housing the water in coolant passage on back of block would shoot water out, but will it suck the water out from around cylinders/waterjackets? dumb question but at this point i just want the water out.
