where is the coolant drain plug on the block?
still question (yet again) but i'm trying to figure out where the drain plug is on the engine block - not the one on the rad. its a '04 accent with the 1.6L dohc.
i bought an engine heater for the accent and its one of the types that is also a pump that circulates the coolant while it heats. the idea is to remove the engine drain plug, replace with a barb, hook that up to the pump inlet then on one of the heater core lines i have to simply make a cut and insert a Y fitting and the pump empties out in there. if anyone has other ideas if this isnt possible, i'm all ears. thanks guys!

You can simply look for threaded plugs and unscrew them (with the engine off of course). If nothing or oil comes out, then you've opened up access to an oil galley. If coolant pours out, you have found what you are looking for. Messy and time consuming? Yes, but I cannot find any information referencing block drain plug locations on the HMA service site.
