Macklin I pumped mine full of green anti-freeze and left it them on Stans advice. I think the less dry areas in these CMIs the better.
I'm leaning towards leaving it in there...mainly because I scrubbed my bilge after winterizing and don't want to get it wet again. :(:D |
Good Choice ..........

There are reasons for leaving it and reasons for draining it. Either way, 9999 times out of 10000 will be fine and any issue would have happened sooner or later anyway. |
Mac,
Drain the headers. I would drain mine if they had the plug. Will be taking it to NC for exactly that mod. You already blew AF thru it, so there is a nice coating of corrosion protection. |

The ONE year I did not fill my engine up with the green AF, (they didn't have the orange stuff in those days), I lost a perfectly good 327 Chevy. Cheap insurance as far as I'm concerned.

I would fill with anti-freeze and leave it filled... Emptying the headers might be a good point as Audio said in case of light reversion...
I have never been a big fan of leaving engine gaskets dry on the side they are usually wet for any length of time since about ten years ago I did a fueling station at an National Air Guard Base... They had 22 F-16 and one of the guys told me they always stored them full off jet fuel so the seals and gaskets would not dry out in the tanks. I applied that logic since in my boat engines... I might be wrong but it makes sense to me... Hope this helps. |
