i have a B1550 2wheel drive w/std shift, on the rh side of the block there is a hose about 3/8 i think that goes down next to the drain cock on the rh lower radiator, my question is what is it for, i think it is for draining the coolant out of the block, i can not find a dealer that can tell me if i can block it off , thanks for any advise , i can take a photo if need too

Why do you need to "block it off"?

I do believe on that model, that pipe burps air out of the block.
Not a good Idea to block it.
