Really? A "majority" of the coolant in the block? Isn't the lower radiator hose the lowest point in the system? If the air bleed bolt is opened and the lowest point in the system (the lower rad hose or the radiator drain plug) is opened, then most of the coolant should come out.

The lower radiator hose leaves the radiator and rises halfway up before going into the engine so alot of coolant gets trapped in the engine block (like the reverse of the water trap on a toilet). Last time I changed the coolant I think it was only half the capacity that came out.
But as long as you change the coolant regularly and always use distilled water you shouldn't ever have to worry about deposits building up.
