There are no plugs in the block. You need to leave the radiator plug open and run the engine with a water hose running in the radiator. Keep a close eye on the temp. This will clean the system as good as you can with out major work. Good Luck

Drain bolt for radiator flush on a 2001 toyota celica

There is a drain in the side of the block normall near the back on the side. Sometime it is a tap that you screw in not out to open it. It is possible to flush without removing the plug but if you want a good job take the time to remove the thermostat and flush using the bottom radiator hose and not through the radiator as you won't want any muck blocking up the cores in the radiator. Then flush the radiator from bottom to top.

A diagram of the flushing of a radiator and block of a chevrolet blazer LS 2000

Theres no such thing as a diagram, here are the draining instructions, hope this helps...
  • 1-Place a large drain pan beneath the radiator drain plug. The drain plug is located on the passenger side at the very bottom of the radiator on the engine side.

  • 2-Make sure the engine is cool. Open the hood of the truck and remove the radiator cap.
  • 3-Loosen the drain plug. On the 2000 Blazer, the drain plug is a wing-nut type of plug. Twist it with your fingers until the coolant begins to drain.

  • *To flush the block, once you have drained the radiator, run the engine for a bit untill the temp gauge goes up to normal, then the coolant will have been evacuated from the block. DO NOT leave the engine on, once it reaches normal temp, (this will happen quick) turn off right away, otherwise you'll be forking out a few hundred $$$ to fix the worped heads.
    4-Tighten the drain plug with your fingers once the coolant has drained fully from the radiator. Remove the drain pan and dispose of the used coolant properly.
    Some service stations will take and recycle your used coolant.
    Hope this helps...

    I have a 1995 buick century. i want to flush radiator, but i couldn't located the draining valve. i need a help, if you can locate the draining valve for radiator.

    Hi, if there is not a petcock or plug at the bottom of the radiator, you can just remove the lower radiator hose to drain the coolant. Many cars do not have drain plugs. Please let me know if you have more questions and thanks for using FixYa.

    Where is the drain plug for the radiator

    Should be a drain **** at the bottom of the radiator that unscrews out. It looks like a wing nut has been welded to a bolt on the end of it. Another way to do this is just pull off the bottom hose.

    Where is the coolant block drain plug located on

    None on the block, other than freeze plugs...
    The only drain is on the bottom of the radiator (you knew that)...

    I installed a Prestone motor flush kit and it flushes just fine, but does not "empty" the engine cavities. This is better, anyway.

    You have to splice a "Tee" fitting into a convenient heater hose (highest one).

    Hope this helps..

    Radiator flushing

    Hi and welcome to FixYa,

    Initially, on most cars, the radiator drain plug is located at the lowest most section, often to one side. It could be a wingnut type or a regular bolt or squarish variety. In some instances it would be pretty difficulty to locate nor access due to the other coverings and components of the front end of the vehicle.

    Alternately, removing the lower hose radiator side would serve the same purpose.

    Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.
