Hello again,

A quick question. I pulled the head off my 140 a few months ago because of the washer that made it into the cylinder and welded itself to the piston. I havn't had the time to put it back together yet.

So the car and engine parts have been sitting in my unheated garage for a few months. Is this bad? Having never done this before, it occurred to me that maybe I should be worrying about moisture or something? I don't know. Also, it has gotten down to -30 celcius here.

I finally got a new head gasket. Should I wait until the weather warms up to put the head back on? Or will reassembling it as sub-freezing temperatures not make any difference?

Any advice appreciated.
