block heater installation....
 

anyone know how a block heater is supposed to be installed on a civic?? I don't know if it's just wires or there drilling involved. I wanna know how it is installed so i don't get ripped off!

Thanks

on the back of your block there will be a plug about the size of a silver dollar....im not sure what size socket it is, but all you have to do is take this plug out and install the block heater and run the wires...its not hard to do...you could do it yourself but if you can, do it on a lift. Its not imperative that you do this, but itll make it easier on your face cause the coolant wont spill all over when you take out that plug.

by the way, I think the plug is around where the oil filter is...maybe above it. Im not sure

Yep

its a 19mm coolant bolt.

mine is on the front right beside the number designation code stamp

D15 and D16 engine block heaters are in different places...si is on the back....D15 is on the front

i have a block heater and i've never used it once

same here...I actually took mine out cause the cord would swing around and scratch the paint

i got mine all bundled up in the engine bay.... but even on the coldest mornings last winter when i had to leave at like 6am i never had a problem getting started

thanks alot guys.. appreciate the response.... i brought my car over to saskatoon saskatchewan for my gf to use, thats why I wanna put in the block heater......it's freakin cold here.....i heard halloween aint the same ehre if there's no snow coming down.. hahaah.... sounds like christmas in toronto.. haha
