ahhhhh, now i realize, the reason all the coolant drained in my car was because the t-stat was broken allowing all the coolant to drain out of the block, if the t-stat is closed it won't drain, you can remove the 2 bolts that hold the tstat to the w/p and drain the rest, it will make a mess, i'll have to post pics of tstat later when i get my camara back

I drained what I could out of my radiator and then started the car and let it idle until it was over 230 degrees. I think the T-stat opened because more coolant came slowly leaking out at that point.
