Block Heater

[falzsf at mts.net (shawn f)]

yeah there is alot of different things for heater your car in the winter. I have also seen a rad fluid heater that actually pumps and heats the rad fluid. kinda neat. Of course you ave that, block heater and a battery warmer and your electricity bill would be huge! LOL

  when I lived in Quebec/Montreal, IU always had a Battery warmer, and a Oil Heater, and it always works just fine, battery heaters area  wrap simply and the oil heater (which is what you really want warm in -40 to -60'c temps) varies from car to car. mine was a special oil plug that doubled as a oil heater, on my buick it was in one of the plugs if I recall... check with seller of those thing C-tre is pretty good supplier of all good weather winter warmers

    Just wondering what does everyone think about block heaters? My block is coming back from the machine shop and they installed new frost plugs. I live in winnipeg and it can get as low as -40 celuis. Should i make sure i put a block heater in? I have always sworn by them since it is easier on your engine for start. What does everyone else think?
