yes, look under the driverside and you will see a phillips head plastic drain plug on the bottom of the radiator.

just open the radiator drain, run the car with the drain open, let it get up to temp so the thermostat is open

stand by with garden hose the entire time with it running into the radiator cap, take off radiator cap BTW........ this will flush it out

or on flip side, drain with engine off, fill back up with water from hose, drive around for a dyr, drain again, fill again.... repeat as nessecary.....

the cylinder block is the big thing in the center also known as the motor. some call it the shortblock since the full long block consists of a head too, but the major part of the bottom end is the cylinder block. it's a big metal block, you cant miss it.

The block drain plug is located under the exhaust manifold, it's a square nut.

It is indeed below the exhaust manifold, but mine is a regular hex bolt.

FYI: the coolant will splash all over the place when draining from there.
