You can add coolant heaters and stuff yourself, and you can buy them at auto parts and tractor places.

By the end of the winter the valves rapped and probably did alot more damage than I know. Why all that either didn't ignite that morning, I don't know, other than it was terribly cold, and was well below zero and must have miraculously not have generated enough heat.
