I will report back on install and I will try and get the owners to let us know how it works for them here on the forum. I talked to one of the company owners last week. Looks like a really worth while system for those of you that live in cold, shivering, frostbite country. [Wink] -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

I used 3 50watt heat pads. One on the oil tank and 2 on the block. It works great and cost only 50 bucks. My engine oil is at 120 when I start the engine. Here is the link to the pads. http://www.amazon.com/Kats-24050-Watt-Universal-Heater/dp/B000I8YPQ4/ref=sr_ 1_6?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1257720347&sr=1-6 Anyone can email me for pictures.

Just warming oil does not preheat a system. Metal parts expand at different rates. There are a couple of factors. http://www.tanisaircraft.com/article_info.php?articles_id=4 -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
