I went to look at a 434 diesel. Seemed like everything was working well. He had it going before I arrived, thus I never did see it do a cold start.
My question is this, how difficult would it be to install a circulating block heater on one of these. I forgot to look for ports on block or head. I had these on 3 different 6 cylinder diesels years ago, ( 2-282 and a Deere) All three of those engines had a block drain about halfway along block, plus a port in the head directly above the block drain. These were quite simple to install and very effective. Just curious, and don't want to ask for another look.
I might add, block heater is not a starting tool in my opinion. I use it anywhere below 40F for engine longeviety.
