    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Question when doing head gasket..

When I do my head gasket within the next couple weeks, I plan on draining the oil and changing the filter.
I was thinking off leaving the engine without oil, in case I want to do clutch inspection, or .....
My question is, when I drain the oil, will the engine have enough protection, so when I pull off the head and all, I won't be getting any rust internally??:-s
I do live about a mile from the ocean and will be doing the work inside a garage.
Thanks.
 
Won't be a problem, unless you let it sit for three or four years...
 
Had mine apart for 4 months (Feb-May) in a cold garage by the sea here in England. None of it went rusty.
As you are taking the head and clutch out I really wouldn't worry about it for a short period.
