little to no water draining during winterize
« on: November 04, 2017, 02:27:13 am »
both manifolds just dripping slow when usually they pour out for a few seconds and only a few drops from both sides of the block ?

thought it was air locked so I watched when I drained from behind the thermostat but still nothing?

I did drain the oil filter hose first and got tons of water from there.

anyone have any ideas?

most times require a small wire to be put into the drain hole to allow water to fully drain.

Ive never had to do that before but you were right Capt ! tons of water came out of the block after i stuck a wire in there. still not much out of the manifolds though?
