Hello all,

Cold weather is coming to my area. This engine is in a 1955 BE crane. I have drained the radiator and left the valve open. Is there any drain plugs on the engine block itself?

Look on the Left side of engine under the starting pinion. There's a drain plug that will drain the block.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
