Winterizing a K engine
Do you K guys add anti freeze or just drain the water? If so where do you add it? I understand I have five drain points for removing water. Thanks.

Jim,
I drain all the water I can. Shut the drains. Turn off the fuel. put the water pump intake hose in a 5 gal bucket of anti-freeze and start it. About the time you see anti-freeze coming out the tail pipe the engine will die from lack of fuel.

Jim,
You could use a fogging spray in the carb. gets to be a lot to do at one time. Probably better to remove the spark plugs and add oil to the cylinders. Gonna need a long snout to get over to the cylinder as the spark plug is over the valves.

Hi Jim,
You can get fogging oil in a spray can at most auto parts stores (NAPA etc.). I use a product made by Seafoam which comes in a spray or a pourable form. I pour it in the carb until she stalls at an idle. You can use the spray for this also. Then you know the valves have been coated. After that I pull the plugs and spray some into the cylinders, replace the plugs and roll her over a few times to coat the cylinder walls and rings. When I'm done I drain the gas out of the carbs via the drain plugs on the bottom.

Boats are to be made of wood, otherwise, God would have grown fiberglass trees.
