Where do I find the engine block water petcock to drain the engineof water???

Where do I find, the engine block water petcock to drain the engine of
water???

1997 ford explorer 6 cyl. engine.

Thank you
D.

The Ford CD for 1997 shows a drain plug for only the 5.0L V8 engine. Nothing
is mentioned about draining the V6 block in the Drain and Refill procedure
section. Only the Radiator. Strange. Must be a way, right?

Yes but I can not find it.....

Have you looked on both sides of the engine block below the heads, if
present it will not look like any type of petcock or valve it's just a
threaded plug with a bolt-like head, you may even see some sealer
around it usually reddish in color. As an FYI my factory manuals do
mention the block drain plug for the V6
