cylinder block, its right down of the head, that big cast iron looking thing.

eitherway what you are really looking for is the block drain plug which is located on the exhaust side of the block, in between cylinders 3 & 4.

and learn how to spell.

theres no point in just draining your radiator. do a full flush, use a machine that has the suction to do it. i mean, i guess if your radiator is full of dirt and ****, yeah drain it in the mean time, but you gotta do a good flush to get anything stickin in there out. thats one of the few things i'll pay valvoline to do.

but anyway, just a word of advice. you might not want to ask people where the "cylinder block" is. if you dont know where a huge part of a motor is located, people might not be too quick to give you a nice reply...

It is a little fuzzified but you can tell what is what.

It is that little bolt below the Exhuast manifold bolt.

from this angle it is the bolt that you can only see half of.

If you have Factory Exhaust mani it may be difficult to get to from the top, so just crawl under, and change the oil while you are down there.
