Winterizing Bretwalda 10/21/09

Colorful trees driving up to Waukegan

 

Original arrangement of white pipe ribs Bill had built

Bill with engine connecting water intake for antifreeze

Bill, engine, and white container for antifreeze which leaked quite badly as we ran engine to properly put it in.
Andy and Bill then pumped over 2 liters of oil out of the engine, but then learned that the oil filter had to be changed
and the engine run to circulate the new oil. This ment running the engine again after that to add antifreeze!
