About the only thing you can do - short of removing the engine and =
tipping it upside down - is to keep refilling with clean water to dilute =
what's left, run, drain, allow to cool, repeat, until what comes out is =
also clean.  Make sure the heater valve is open.

To refill add the correct amount of neat coolant for the system capacity =
and your required dilution, then top-up with water.  For initial top-ups =
while it is purging itself of air use plain water, after that use a =
dilute mix.

  So, how do I get all the old coolant out of the engine since the =
coolant drain plug isn't functional, and since there will likely be =
water left inside the block, how do I properly dilute the green coolant?
