3.0 V6 engine block water drain?

Post by JohnySWB »

A easy question I hope gents.

Does the 3.0 V6 have a engine block drain for the coolant to be drained?

Cheers John.

I think I remember reading somewhere - maybe on the 4x4wire - that it does have one. Near the Manifold on the right hand side.
I may be corrected though :?
wtf is an acronym

There is one on both side of the block. It is under the manifolds.

It is a hex plug... it stands out you shouldnt miss it.

I just wanted to add a little more. It is in a low part of the block so if you haven't been using distilled water sometimes crap build up right near the drains. You need to use a pick or something else to get the coolant flowing.

Use some sealant on it when your putting it back in. :D

The collant came out nice and strong flow with little contaminates.

Crikey the block holds some water.
