Default Where's the coolant bleed bolt?

I'm going to be changing the coolant, and realized can find the coolant bleed bolt on teh block. I'm not referring to the drain bolt, but the little nipple on the block that lets out bubbles. This is on a 2000 accord v6.

Thanks!

you don't bleed coolant like that...you have to do it by leaving the radiator cap off and waiting for no more bubbles to appear while the car is turned on...and just keep adding coolant so that it doesn't get too low and make you do the process all over again...

I don't know how it's on Accords, but on my Integra, there was a bleed bolt on the block specifically for that.

Agreed. Right before the path where the coolant enters your block/head and goes around it. should be near and below your distributor. hope this helps.
