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

Would that be the drivers side Hekta?

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.

The collant came out nice and strong flow with little contaminates.
Crikey the block holds some water.
