Anybody got a pic of where the drain plug is for the block?
#21
Here's a pic of the area where I dragged the bolt out of. The bolt actually came out a lot easier than I had initially thought it would. But then, I've been soaking it in WD-40 and other lubricants for a while, too. I pulled the bolt out and nothing came out.......just a little oil goooz was in there.
Was this the right bolt to remove? I used a 17mm socket to get it out. Thoughts? Maybe my system has enough radiator fluid (I have removed the lower radiator hose and drained that, but didn't remove the thermostat) to attempt replacing the cam now?

That's the right one. If nothing came out then you either have no coolant in the block or a wall of scale has formed behind the plug. Poke it with a screwdriver.

I poked around in there and nothing came out. Would removing the lower radiator hose get this out as well?

I think the lower hose is about the same level as (or slightly above) that hole, so probably nothing more is going to come out from the block. The radiator is another story.
