    To Winterize or NOT to Winterize?

    I have a heated garage so will it still be recommended to "winterize" it? the garage is heated with a space heater mounted to the ceiling of the garage and it stays about 45-50 degrees in there all winter.

    1978 Oil Leak: Valve Cover or Tach Seal?

    it is hard to tell in those pics. When i run into an issue like this i simply replace what i know is leaking, clean up the spillage really good, then after running the engine a while go back over it and see if there is any other leaks. :thumbsup:
