You need to drain the reservoir at least as that has to come out

Thanks  Monocle, once again for the answer. I am asking all this questions as I want to clean the intake Manifold as well the ports, and all the help and info is very appreciated.

By the way where is the plug to drain the coolant from the motor block?

There is a coolant pipe next to the common rail and you need to remove every thing on that site! But if you are worried about the coolant you better not to start this job,because there are bigger  things to worry about then drain the coolant or not to drain! 

Thanks for the answer. I want to clean the ports and the intake manifold, and wondering if I pinch the coolant pipes I would be able to get away with draining, would I? But I want to know everything before I get into this task.And all the help and info is much appreciated.

I know the coolant is a pain but it's easy and you can reuse it. That's the least of your worries. 

Also, I didn't torque anything. Just take it handy on the common rail. Very exact advice I know, but it has stood well for me for over a year at least. 

Did you only drain the coolant from the radiator? I Don't get it why you need to drain it?  Where does it flow so you need to drain the radiator?

Hi there! I already sold my Lexus as I had enough of the problems ! Never buy Lexus again that's for sure! If it doesn't start then it's injector problem ....suprise suprise! You need to do leak nack test to find out which one! As for the manifold, everything has to come out from that side like;common rail,battery with trey! 

Good luck with it!

Why do I have to Drain?  Can I pinch the pipes instead of Draining the coolant? My tutorial is basically know what should I be unbolting.
