guess I should throw away my 5 points files?
the first thing they taught you in Autos 101 is filing points. you file them when you install them and every time you service them.
if you are sure its a full system.
I used to pull the impeller every year when I had to winterize. put the impeller, cover, screws and block drains in a baggie zip-tied with the keys to the steering wheel
makes bad toilet paper and bad fire starting material
may make a good knee pad if kneeling on gravel
as far as a manual goes, not worth the paper they are printed on.
My searay had a swivel snap connecting the drain plug to the end of the hose. never lost the plug (may have forgotten to install once or twice) and simply pulled the hose out.
my Rogue has a keel drain that I use.
If you are hell-bound to not drain, then blow out the water first
VP only does half systems, so unless you confirm that there is AF in the manifolds, I would drain them first.
No, it doesn't
You must drain first. PERIOD
You will never generate enough heat to open the thermostat and your block will still be filled with water even if you ran 250 gallons of AF thru the motor
Pull the hoses, pull the plugs, drain the water
