HI guys - just wondering if anyone can explain why the coolant in this engine isn't draining away: I would have thought that with the pump hoses and radiator removed, the coolant would have drained out?

There are three drain bolts,one by the pump and two under the front exhaust outlets. Did you take those out?

Nice work - thanks Duchy... it'll be the drain bolts by the front headers that I need to take out.

As usual, I should have "RTFI" ! :)

Also important...be sure to re-fit these drain bolts before refilling the cooling system. Go on, ask me how I know....
