I have a Perkins 236 that I pulled the failed injector pump off, and now I need to winterize the engine. The new pump won't be here for a week and the nights up here in Maine are getting colder.
Can I drain the raw water system of all the water(Which is fresh water at the time) by removing drain plugs in the heat exchanger and exhaust? The other option is to crank the motor over with the starter enough to circulate antifreeze through the raw water system. I am not sure if the timing will be off if I crank the motor with the injector pump off? Perkins are nice because there is only one way to put the pump on, however I am wondering if there is something I am missing?
