Just to make myself feel better as this is my first time draining this particular motor. I see two...one in the side of the block and one in the bottom of the manifold. My roll of toilet paper (er....I mean....my Clymer's manual :D ) is rather vague on my particular motor, mostly focusing on Gen I's.<br /><br />Have I missed any? Thanks.

I believe those are the only 2 drains on that rig,.....<br />I also pull the bottom end of the Big Hose at the waterpump,........<br />And,...<br />If you've got P/S,.. There'll be water laying down in the P/S Cooler..........Pull the hose off Either end of it(Big Water hoses,.. Not the little oil hoses)............

I would disconnect & drain the hose coming from the transom, either at the power steering cooler or where it enters the engine...JK

Thank you kind sirs. I have no power steering so I will check that the water pump hoses have drained.
