an that thing says, to put in seven ounces of anti freeze into the water regulator above the exhaust canister, so it can endure some antifreeze, now maybe not four gallon

Good job man, you can use a shop vac to suck water out too, or compressed air at low pressure (don't want to blow something up, it's easy to do) to push water out too, but gotta flush antifreeze thru in case some water was left behind.

The DI is the most complicated, that and the RFI, those cooling lines going everywhere in those things, I don't envy you on that.

Exhaust Canister - May as well do that one too while at it but I never have put antifreeze in my waterbox (exhaust canister), just let the exhaust blow the water out. I'm not recommending that but just saying I never have.

I've seen plenty of freeze damage, even on blocks that were drained but no antifreeze flushed through. Antifreeze will get that little bit of water that can become trapped.
