I have a question im hoping you guys can help with.  Car is a 56 sunliner, 292.  Around thanksgiving, i pulled the radiator and harmonic balancer.  I sent the balancer off to damper dr. and had a small leak in the rad fixed.  How i have all the parts back, and its awfully bloody cold out there!  So my question is whether or not i have to worry about rust buildup, etc. in the cooling passages if i dont put the rad back in until the spring?  Coolant was a decent mix, so im not too worried about freezing, more about gunk buildup in the block (should i be owrried about freezing?) How about the front oil seal drying out with the damper out?

I know these probably seem like silly questions to many, but i tend to worry about little stuff like this and really value the input of those who know far more than I!

Thanks in advance!
