Hi Stop messing around and get a block heater on. warming the air in the intakes about as much help, as blowing either up where the sun don't shine when your tractor won't start!. if air cooled you can put a heater in under the cooling fan shroud, we did this on air cooled belarus and some Deutz had them as well.Its kinda like a household water heater element from what I remember and the cord/ element plug in socket comes through the housing so it doesn't melt. I am currently working on a Belarus 5490 motor for a guy. it dumped the liner seals out, was the start of the job. He commented the block heater might not of be working since last winter, well yeah the plugs burnt right off it at the heater!. He has been using either and starting in - 20oc and lower with no heat.
The head studs are all stretched due to either as the head was slack , and when I took the rod bearings out they are scuffed and the white metal smeared . looks to me it didn't like being filled with either and started that cold. the main bearings are exactly the same, so pretty well in framing the motor now!.
Somewhere I heard once there is a figure as to how many hours 1 way below freezing cold start takes off a motors life. I think it was around a 500- 1000 hours a time, according to the guys that figured it out. Regards Robert
