coolent draining on 2002 zx 800

[note]

So, I want to take off the head on my sled to inspect the domes, pistions, and cylandar walls. How do I drain the coolent? I dont have to take the motor out, do i?

snows coming and your sled will be in peices!

whats your compression at?


anyways theres no good way to drain the coolant. pop off the bottom rad hose to drain the cylinders/head.
