thumper Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Just wanted to remind everyone that the freezing weather comming will break blocks,raidiators and anything else with water.Draining the raidiator does not empty the block eather.You must pull the block drains,both sides on a V8.Every year someone looses an engine or raidiator by being forgetful. Stay warm guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay warm guys. remove the freeze plugs?dam thats a pain, could a person drain radiator,disconnect upper &lower radiator hoses,remove thermostat/restricitor and then run motor for a few seconds/minute, and pump most of the water out?

thumper Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 The easiest way to protect your engine if you can not get the little plugs out to drain the block is to drain as much as you can then refill the system with anti freeze.You end up with about a 50% mixture good for about 20 below.Remember you have to run it some to mix it.% minutes should do.
