Block drain plug for coolant?
I have a 91 Ford Ranger with a 4.0L. I am draining the coolant to replace the head gaskets. Does the block have a drain plug? I cannot see one anywhere.
I have coolant in the #4 Cylinder. That is why I am replacing the head gaskets. I will probably also have the heads magnifluxed while there off also.

I have a 94' ranger-4.0. While you have the engine out, do yourself a big favor and replace both freeze plugs. They are a whopping .40 a piece. If you would, let me know what your pistons look like. Blew a head gasket in mine and ended up with a new motor because the #4 piston head was melted off! Eye up that main seal as well!! Good luck.
