Winterize

[nyryan2001]

Is your motor semi closed cooled like my LS3 nitrous?

What are your steps? Just drain the manifolds via the quick plugs or do you actually pull hoses?

2 bolts on ea manifold- lots of water comes out

1 1/2" Allen bolt under the end of the Vdrive- lots of water

3-4 small bolts on the impellor cover

1 hose clamp on hose that goes into tranny and one on the out side

2 bolts on the bottom of the heat exchanger

Strainer

Heater

Inside an unheated garage. Low last year was -17. Speaking of the ballast pumps and lines how do I make sure those are drained

Unhook the lines and let the water drain out.

Where is the strainer? Also the heater doesn't need drained because it uses antifreeze

Well I am really appreciating my winters lowest night time temp of 28ºf and not having to winterize.

If you have a raw water strainer..... it'd likely be 1-2ft down stream after your raw water intake seacock on the hull bottom.

<br /><br />Depends on whether you have a closed cooled or partially closed cooled engine. 2014 was the first year the ls3 came standard with partial closed cooled. Otherwise, you need to blow out the heater core.<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
