I have a 1995 Chrysler Cirrus that had a gummed up coolant system. I ran water and a cooling system cleaner through, and blasted water and air repetitively out the heater core for days. I managed to get everything in great shape, and I want to get the water out. There is NO coolant in this engine. Just tap water. I want to drain everything out of the engine so I can put coolant into it before winter arrives.
My question: is there a drain plug on the engine block somewhere? I want to get the water out. Draining the radiator only drains a little under half of the coolant capacity. I had a idea of draining all the water and putting 100% undilluted coolant into the radiator and hoping it would mix and create a 50/50 solution, but that won't work since the engine holds more than 50% of the system capacity. If not a drain plug, are there any ideas? Thanks!
