im doing a head gasket on my 2g gsx, ive done head gaskets before and hate that all the coolant goes into the bores, is there a bolt in the block that i can remove to drain it, or a lower location in the block to drain the coolant, please dont just tell me to drain the radiator from the bottom because it doesnt drain the block, looking to do a clean gasket job, thanks.
p.s. there is no treads on this, so it will help others to do the same, pictures are appreciated!
 
As long as it is a 2G block, there is the turbo coolant feed hole that can be used to get the coolant level down below the deck. Location is shown here: 2g Block Coolant Line

Do note that if you undo the banjo bolt, you'll need to replace the two crush washers it uses to seal.

dood you got it!!! im using that location to drain the block below the deck this should like magic, thank you so much!!!

There is no "magic" way of doing it without coolant getting all over. There is no block drain plug. Sorry to be a Debbie downer!



understood, but im gonna use that banjo location to drain below the deck thats all i was looking to do, this should make for a clean coolant free job, and i wont even have to drain the oil now!
