I've done an engine drop with mepstein and brenz so I know how to do it (thanks for the practice car Mark). I want to do some minor work on the engine while its out of the car (oil cooler seals, valve adjustment) and change the transmission oil.
Prior to dropping the engine/trans do I: 1) Drain out all the gas or try to keep some in it? 2) If I need to keep some in it, do I add Stabil and run it a bit first (gas tank is just about empty since I want to drain it anyway prior to welding)? I don't want to have my injectors seize up. 3) Drain the oil? 4) Any need to manually turn the crankshaft? If so, how often? The engine will be kept inside an unheated garage. The plan is to have it all back together by March. Thoughts? Other things I'm missing? Thanks, Scott |
