Re: how to winterize

Are you sure you have a 130 and not a 131? The 130 was last manufactured in 77 the 131's came out in 85.
Does it have a timing belt on the front of the engine? and OHC?

Re: how to winterize

Have you actually looked for a model or serial number on the engine? A 131 has a closed cooling system on it (with antifreeze in it) so you shouldn't have to drain the block. Just make sure the antifreeze is good for how ever cold it can get in your area.
Check your engine for numbers, instead of just guessing what you think it might be.
