block drains for coolant?

Anybody know where the coolant drain(s) are on the block? I'm replacing the coolant, got the G-05 and some distilled water. Bought some prestone flush but don't think I'll use it unless the radiator looks bad.

Service manual shows block drains for the gassers but not the diesel, hmmm.

Thanks for the help.

Gary

Not sure if you would call them block drains, but on the right side of the engine, tubro side. There is a coulpe metric orb fittings, remove 1 of them and it will drain the block, have a allen head socket. Easy to see 1 with the air filter ducting removed, just behind the oil filter.
