Heater Install in 2006 LSV

So far so good. I have to go to HD and buy the valves that you put in. As far as the pipe joint compound, what exactly did you buy?

It's just called pipe joint compound. Comes in a little can with a brush built into the lid. Real nasty stuff so don't let it get everywhere

How's the install going?

How's the install going?

I have everything mounted EXCEPT for the hot tubes. Bought a 4" hole saw yesterday.
We have been running around trying to get soccer tryouts, gymnastics finals and year end school stuff done and I have not had time to work on it. I also bought a piece of pipe and a hose attachment to make a fake lake straight into the Vdrive intake like someone had shown on here. I will probably get it tested later this week. The part that kills me is that we are taking off to Hawaii for two weeks this Sunday so I will not be on the water until July 3rd after I get back.

Now how do you winterize your heater system?

Now how do you winterize your heater system?

Well, this will be my first time winterizing it but I plan to disconnect the supply and return lines at the engine and then using either my air compressor or my 120V tube pump, blow the water out of the line.

Now how do you winterize your heater system?

I beleive you can just run a mixture of antifreeze through your engine as well and it will circulate through your heater Depends on which way you want to winterize? Some do both!!

Now how do you winterize your heater system?

162 - Get your engine temp into the operating range, allowing thermostat to open and water to circulate through cooling system - including the heater core. Then run antifreeze through the cooling system. Disconnect heater supply and return lines at the engine block. - Deerfield
