ok so i was just wondering if i really need to drain the coolant from the block when i change my water pump? will draining the radiator be enough? if i have to, what would be the cleanest way to catch the coolant from the block? it looks pretty tight in that area and i dont want the coolant getting everywhere. ive searched and got mixed answers about draining the block. so could anyone clear things up for me? perhaps i could save some time and mess while doing this?
