Great indeed! This has to be sticky for sure.

If I had such diagram some months ago I would have had a much easier time performing a cooling system service on my car.

Oh by the way:

Thanks for the local of the block coolant plug. Am getting ready to do mine one day this week. You saved me a bunch of research time and is GREATLY appreciated!

One day maybe I can come up with something to help you guys :)

Anyone need tips on furniture restoration/woodwork project? :)

Cheers,

Speaking of drain plugs, does the block heater element replace the drain plug????

What drain plug? If you're asking about the engine block coolant drain plug then the answer is no. They co-exist together.

The Block heater is about 4 inches higher and 4 inches further back on the motor than the coolant drain plug. If yours isn't there it has a 19 MM hex plug in it that REAL BIG.
