R/L Block Heater?

BigSkyCountry · 12-15-2007, 01:22 AM

Anybody using a freeze-plug heater? Can't seem to find one for the R/L, Saturn or aftermarket. There are plenty of in-line hose ones available but my preference is block mount. Thanks, Ray

If Im not mistaken, the casting process and materials used in the manufacture of these blocks(lost foam process?) make freeze plugs unnecessary so it doesnt have them.

Where in Wyoming are you?
My Sky Stays in a nice warm garage in the winter. Actually all year round, unless of course it is on the road cruising.

Cody. Yeah, fair weather driving would be great but I had to sell my last car to swing the R/L. Or, I could drive my truck at 11 m.p.g. Ouch! Ray
