Hi David,
Hi to a fellow New Yorker. I grew up in NY, the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten
Island.  I Went to public schools and college in NY, and also got drafted at
Whitehall.
I also have a 87 Syncro Camper GL, I flushed my system a few months ago.
Followed the directions in removing the drain plug from under the engine,
which was not easy and to much work to get to the damn plug. Opened the bleed
value in the engine and the radiator, opened all heaters, and flushed and
filled. This was not as easy as your basic car and radiator flushes. If you or
anyone find an easy way like installing a tee somewhere please let me know.
Good luck flushing.

<<Hello all,

I was planning on draining and flushing my coolant system, today.
Anyway, the drain plugs on the engine block as pictured in my Bentley
and Haynes appears to be behind some rock guards which are bolted to the
exhaust>>
