I have the radiator out of our '76 TR6 for installation of an electric
cooling fan, and I'd like to flush the block based on the rusty stuff that
came out of the radiator.
There's a large hex-head bolt or plug on the starter side of the block
toward the rear. Is that a block drain plug?
==AM==
Yes!
==AM==
If so, can the block be flushed adequetly w/o removing that plug? (looks
like it's a bear to get at).
==AM==
No! Remove it, and then be prepared to probe around in that hole with a
stiff wire or small screwdriver to loosen up what likely is many years' worth
of
crud deposits. Keep going once water starts to flow...until it really, REALLY
gushes out of there.
