when do you winterize ?
don't get caught with your pants down when freezing temps come
In years past have had blocks crack in late September if one of those weird weather systems set up

don't let some one tell you if the water is not frozen your block cant freeze moving water don't freeze but the water captured in your engine wil with cold air whipping thru the vents
just I case you get caught with emanate temp fore casted
#1 take all vents shut with duck take shrink wrap tape masking tape any thing you can find
#2 take 100w rough service drop light bulb with metal cage and plug it in and set atop motor in contact with metal only components 4" from and plastic or rubber or motor covers
#3 open block drains pull hoses off the bottom of exhaust manifold ( stop by email or call if you need more specific instructions)
I MUCH RATER SELL YOU A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE YOUR WORE IT OUT ! lets keep if fun no cracked engine blocks on the south end this year !
