OK. WELL I HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. THE CAR STILL RUNS BUT WATER GETS IN PISTON 3. I SPOKE TO AN OLD SCHOOL CUBAN MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO REMOVE ALL THE WATER FROM THE BLOCK BECAUSE IT BAD TO HAVE WATER LEAKING INTO YOUR CYLINDER. (DUUH) I DONT DRIVE IT NOW BUT I START IT WHENEVER I HAVE THE CHANCE TO REMOVE ALL THE WATER FROM THE CYLINDER. HE TOLD ME THAT I COULD REMOVE A BOLT ON THE BLOCK THE WILL LET ALL THE WATER FROM THE BLOCK OUT. COULD I DO THIS ON A KA AND WHERE IS THAT BOLT????? IF THERE ISN'T A BOLT. HOW DO I REMOVE ALL THE WATER SO NO WATER GETS IN THE CYLINDER. COULD I JUST UNPLUG THE RADIATOR'S DRAINING PLUG AND RUN THE ENGINE UNTILL NO WATER COMES OUT. I TOLD HIM THAT BUT HE SAID THAT WONT REMOVE ALL THE WATER FROM THE BLOCK. WHAT DO I DO??? :confused: THANKS!!!
 
A plug? I cant think of anything but taking out your freezer plug(s)....but, just drain the radiator. You shouldnt have any water leaking anywhere when its just sitting there. Change your headgasket and be done.

Dont worry about it, water shouldnt be leaking into your head just sitting there.
 
there is a bolt that is on your exhaust side in between 2-3 or 3-4 dont remember, un screw that and most of the water will flow out!
 
if its a blown headgasket then emptying the radiator from the bottom should be enough to lower the water level below the headgasket. Yes like drftnR14 said there is a bold there.
 
thanks you all for the help. now i think i got the water level low enough and now i just got my head from motion machine shop and the whole head gasket set. now to install. woot woot. can't wait to have my bitch side ways.
 
you can also take the spark plug out after you get the water out of the block and turn the motor over a couple of times.... and watch the water show! that will get the water out of the cyclinder.. but not the block...
