cal_look_zero Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I was stripping down a blown to hell EJ25D for bolts and such, and discovered that it had a factory OEM block heater. Works like a charm too. My franky has a bit of cold start piston slap, I don't live in a very cold climate (lowest it gets here is teens) but I was wondering if running the heater for about an hour in the mornings might mitigate the cold starting issues? Thoughts? (If I'm barking up the wrong tree, I'd be happy to sell the heater to one of you Canucks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal_look_zero Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Well fine then. I guess I'll install it and see what I get for results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 just out of curiosity, where on the block does the element live? I found the plug in for the heater a few weeks back when I was putting a headlamp bulb in my 97 legacy just never traced it anywhere.
