I picked up a block heater for my "new" 2007 Forrester. I haven't put it in yet, it's too cold out lol!

 

Question: From the top looking down it looks like I may have to drop the exhaust manifold a tiny bit. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Here's a link to help I hope, I gues it depends on model/year on the exhaust manifold:

Ok thanks for that. I will see when wifey gets home.

Not sure on that setup if you need to drop the xhast manifold. I did install one of these heaters on my '96 and it was pretty easy. Hardest part was getting the plug out. It took a 14mm hex thing. I used an impact wrench and beat it out.
