M25 coolant pump - source and ID?

[Prairie Schooner]

. . .

Installation was easy, even for me (I have approximately zero skills with motors). About the only hiccup was that I forgot to fully drain the coolant using the petcock low on the block, so when the lower hose came off I spilled coolant into the sump under the engine. Oh well.

Hi Bruce,
Can you give me some more direction on where to look for that petcock?
Thanks,
Jeff

Look down low near the oil dipstick. It's very hard to turn. I ran a piece of hose to a nipple on the end to aid in draining without too much spillage.

Starboard side, low. And as Doug says, a piece of hose is the hot tip for getting the coolant into a container
