    Since i've got my motor out and on the bench for some simple upgrades, i need to drain the oil out of the motor so i can possibly flip it over to clean the bottom end for paint, but not real sure whare the drain hole is.

    The drain plug is below the oil filter housing, in the center, front of the engine, it's the lower bolt, 19mm if I remember correctly.
