draining coolant

[ehorst33]

might be a dumb but quick qeustion, how do you drain the coolant out of the engine, i found the oil drain plugs but cant find the coolant, also when filling it back up do you just let it run and fill it till it flow into overflow? sorry trying to get my first build back together

on the water pump cover there is a screw on the bottom, stock it was a 10mm/philips head and had a copper washer behind it. Remove that screw.

Also, remove the radiator cap so speed the flow of draining the coolant.

Ok now wen u fill it up do u just let it go till it come out overflow

when filling up, I just fill it to the top and start it w/o radiator cap on. You will see the level drop and refill as needed, until the level stays to the top of the neck.
