WINTERIZING - the full way!

Also, the valve springs are under a fair amount of compression even when the valve is seated.
I think the best you can do is bar the engine over a half turn or so every month. Let's see, four months of winter = two complete revolutions or one full valve cycle...

Empty Fuel Tank
Ditto on this statement with the ethenol in the fuel today I would want it as empty as I could get it to avoid moisture condensating in the tank as well as the octane dropping for those of us that have the boat sit almost 6 months the octane level drops substantially even using Stabil. The rest of it is pretty thorough though although changing the oil twice once in fall and once in spring again seems pretty wasteful due to the fact it's fresh oil.
