Does anyone have any good pictures or diagrams of the 4g63's oil and water jackets. I looked through the Factory manual and couldnt find any and i need to see exactly how the oil passages are run throughout the head and block

yeah somewhat. Im trying to figure out exactly where the oil galley in the exhaust side of the cylinder head goes. Does it go straight through the block to the oil pan?

The hole for the drain? As far as the oil supply to the head it comes in at the front-left of the block (standing in front of your bumper looking at the motor. The oil then comes through the cylinder head above the valves, and from there goes to the oil distribution block. If I remember correctly there are "rails" that run down the length of the cylinder head where oil passages branch off and supply oil to the lifters and then the cam bearings.

The engine block is fairly straight forward. On the crank pulley side of the block you will find a hole where the oil comes in from the oil filter housing after it has been filtered and cooled. The main oil galley is a straight shot to the flywheel side of the block. You can see a hex socket head taper plug there where the hole was sealed after being bored during manufacture. Right around there that is where the oil branches to go to the cylinder head. There are branches along the whole length of this main oil galley to supply the main bearings.

Yea I'm referring to the drain around #3 cylinder on the exhaust side which goes through the head gasket. A valve keeper feel down it so I'm trying to figure out where it would of went and how to get it out

If my memory serves me correctly, this is where the drain hole is located in the head.
