    Can’t seem to find it anywhere. Thanks in advance for the help. Just trying to do a flush.

    I believe the Gen 1 radiator has a drain valve at the bottom corner opposite of where the fill neck is located. I believe the photo below is a Gen 1. The white petcock at the bottom corner should be a drain.
