block coolant drains

Are there any coolant drain plugs on the block of the 4.2? If so, where? Or is there just the radiator pet**** valve.

That's funny, I didn't put those stars in the message. Must be some auto-censor thing.

There is a drain plug on the drivers side. It's towards the rear of the block. If there's one on the passenger side, I don't have a clue as to where.

It's a square bolt, exactly 1/2". If it's hard to brake, you can use a socket with a 1/2" drive and an allen socket in the other end. You'll figure out how to put everything together.

Use a 1/2" open end wrench and a pipe or BFH.
