[SEL] Austral Question

[Edd Payne]

DAVE.There are 4 drain points on most Austral's.One on the main pipe between 
the tank and the pump,this drains the water tank only.Then there are 3 small 
drain cocks on the water pump.One on each valve block and one on the pump 
body.The one on the top valve block will drain the engine block out.If you 
don't open these the water in the cylinder block will not drain.
