If "pretty much" means "except for about a gallon" then you're right :-/ |
I was talking about. You can even fill it with distilled water and
start the engine and let it go thru a complete warm up/cool down cycle,
then drain it again before refilling. It won't take any more time than
figuring out how to access and remove the block plugs in most vehicles -
and without the potential for something breaking to gain access to the
plug.

FWIW, whenever I *do* get the block plugs out of my engines, I always replace them with brass radiator drain petcocks available at any auto parts store (same size and pitch thread as the block plug)... |

Aka "NPT." :-)

I started to say that, but I didn't because Icouldn't spare the time to check and make sure I wasn't confusing NPT
and NPTF (dryseal).
