hey guys just a quick question, im replacing the antifreeze in my 02 lancer and was told there was a drain plug on the block. there is what seems to be a plug under the water pipe going across the front or actullay the side of the engine. i was wanting to know if thats it before i pull it out.

 

im not typing right today i meant the cooling system lol

 

See attachement.

 

thanx blaze ,yea i got that in the manual i got but it says that there is a cylinder block drain plug but does'nt say exactly where that is.

 

It says "if equipped".
I don't think there's one. If there was one, I'm not even sure I'd use it. The rad drain plug works just fine

edit:
I just quickly went through the engine diagrams in the service manual and I couldn't find any drain plug.

 

thanx blaze i was just wanting to get as much out as possible and quickly since i just replaced the head gasket, its nasty.

 

What if you tilt the car towards the front?
Block the front wheels, and jack the rear of the car.
I don't know... never tried... but in theory I think it works

 

lol u know what thats sounds good though. i was thinkin about lettin the car run with the rad drain plug open till clean water comes out, what about that?

 

They have flush kits. Fairly cheap It comes with basically a port you can thread a regular garden hose onto. You cut your heater hose and connect the port in between then turn on your hose and let it run out till she is running clear, after that it comes with a cap so you can just cap it until next flush. Or if your like me and dont like cutting things when its not absolutely necassary just pull off one of your heater hoses and hold that garden hose to the end of it. Same result except you have to sit there and hold it the whole time instead of leaving it and going off and doing something else ( it can take awhile at times to run COMPLETELY clear )

 

that sounds good, true i dont wanna really cut anything. a lil bit of time wont kill me so ill probably do something like that.
