Winter storage...
Hey guys/gals. Should i loosen off the rockers on my engine for winter storage?? My friend does this with his car as he says it's to let the tension off the valve springs... I'm running hydraulic lifters. Would they bleed down anyway or should i loosen 'em off just to be sure?? Thanks!

in my camaro with .510 lift and hydralic lifters, i never did. had it 10 years. i just went out mid winter and rotated the crankshaft 1 full revolution to let the other springs take a break. in my dragster .680 lift solid roller i did just because the heads cost so damn much and the extra lift hieght, i just figured i should.

Cool... I may do it for piece of mind but it got damn cold fast!! No heat in the garage means my finger tips will be frozen..haha. Thanks for the advice..
I wanted to complain about this NZ slang business, but I see it was resolved before it mattered. LOL..
