Drains for an AQ 130 and winterization

[Hermyboy3000]

Hello all!

Where are all the drains for this motor? I can only find one at the oil cooler.

I don't want to go through what I did a couple years ago. I pulled most of the cooling parts off and blew compressed air though it all (what a nightmare).

Also, one more question. I was wondering if running straight antifreeze into the motor after it has warmed up (opened tstat) and letting the water pump suck up a gallon or two until it comes out of my exhaust is sufficient? Is this retarded?

You have to Drain all the Water out of the Engine & Manifold or you will have a cracked block/Manifold in the Spring..

Do you know where all the drains are? Or do I have to disassemble again?

Go to the link below and download an owners manual for your engine. It will show you where to drain it.
