Need to flush some sticky icky dexcool out of a newly acquired motor while it's on the engine stand. What is the size of the mammoth water jacket plug on the drivers side? Metric or standard? Also what is the size of the one on the pass side block? I need to go buy some size specific sockets today.

I will lurk in the shadows silently and unnoticed to my PM box so no one is privy to me reading the secret PM!
