"Matt, I presume you have a closed cooling system which uses that green antifreeze? If so, you need to drain the block, manifold and heat exchanger. Normally four cylinder inline motors have a single brass hex head plug on one side of the block in the middle. That needs to be removed, as does any plugs on the bottom of the exhaust manifold. You should be able to pull a hose off the heat exchanger to drain it. Now flush with fresh water, and let it drain again. Now install all the plugs and hoses and add the correct amount of pure antifreeze (1/2 of capacity as stated in the service manual) and add the 50% water."
