We all know it looked good in design but sucked in application leading to cracked block or manifolds. Unless you collect and measure the water leaving the drain and make sure it adds up to atleast 4 gallons something did not drain. The most likely culprit is the block drains being plugged up. You thought you drained everything but the block did not drain.
To those introducing the AF thru the drive no matter how much you run thru it you only diluting whats in the block.
If you are pouring it in the block and it DID NOT TAKE at least 2 gallons before it ran out the T housing your block did not drain.
The safest way to winterize is to pull the drains and hoses and probe the fittings to insure there open and draining.
I also have had the manifold drain plug check ball fail and a manifold not drain so removing the main hose is good insurance to insure draining
