Well is it because i wanna do some headwork while the season is done

If so,what should I do for oil?

-Should I drain it?
-Put brand new oil it before removing the head?

Hello, my first post!!!

Not sure what the weather is like for you, as i'm in England.

However, if you rub a bit of oil down the bores and keep the block covered, it'll be fine..

To be extra cautious, if you spray a little bit of penetrating fluid down the bores every month or so.. That'll be even better

will the car be sitting outside all winter?
if so cover the cylinders up with a towel and then a tarp of some sort. lubrication is your friend.

You could leave the oil in there if you want. And if your leaving the motor in the car cover it with a plastic bag. And like once every 2 weeks rotate the motor.
