dotdat Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 My D21 pickup with Z24 engine has blown a head gasket. No heated garage, so need to store it till weather warms in April. I plan to drain coolant and put some M Mystery oil into the cyl's. Any thing else that I should do ?? Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Similar to what I do to put my boat away for the winter. However, I warm the engine up, and change the oil first, and restart the engine to circulate fresh oil. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Except that a blown head gasket may let water into the oil - or worse, water into the cylinders I would drain the radiator, drain oil, put 2 quarts oil in, remove plugs and squirt oil in crank over. Finally put plugs back in and run for 30 seconds Quote Link to comment
