Mishimoto Rad Draining
I read about everybody putting a Fumoto valve on their Mishimotor radiator. My question is, how bad a mess does it make draining without one? I need to drain my coolant down to reroute my coolant hose coming out of the oil cooler. Can I use a 5 gallon bucket and catch all my coolant? What does it drain like without the valve?

It basically shoots straight out horizontally and splashes all over everything until the pressure is low enough that it just dribbles down. So yeah it makes a really big mess. You could try using some kind of splash guard to direct it better but just draining a radiator a 5-gallon bucket should be fine. Draining the block brings out about three and a half and your system holds eight at Max with mishimoto.
