Yes it does ! Theres a 10mm bolt between the head and the intake manifold near where the fuel lines go in and out. You gotta take that out and fill up the radiator till its full start the engine so it pumps the water around the motor and keep topping up the radiator and the air vents out that bolt hole. When the water starts squirting out the hole just replace the bolt and your done.

So when replacing the coolant, we first drain it, then WHILE we are topping it up, open the bolt?
