Default 1999 Civic coolant bleed bolt

I am trying to locate the coolant bleed bolt on my 99 1.6 liter Civic Hatchback. I've looked everywhere. I've Googled and seen pics of bleed bolts on other Honda makes/models. I thought it was on the thermostat housing, but its not there. Does the 99 1.6 liter even have a coolant bleed bolt? I can send a hi-res pic of the thermostat area if needed.

are you having a problem overheating? or did you just want to flush coolant? open the cap while cold and let your car idle...has the same effect.

honda is weird...some blocks have it...some dont.

if you dont have it, to bleed the system, run your car with the radiator cap off, your fan and heat on high. wait until the car runs to operating temp and let your radiator fans cycle about 2 times.
