The instructions say to install it vertically for best performance, but I couldn't install mine and still clear the skid plate. So Someone here might be willing to try it. I'm yet to see a problem by installing it horizontal. I Might be losing some performance but meh.

Anywho, When it stops raining here I'll change my oil and get some pictures of this for you guys.

Well, my review of the block heater isn't going to happen.

I installed the block heater yesterday, bleed the system of air, then last night I plugged the block heater in to test it out.

It was working very well, if I turned the key on and then the heater fan it would blow warm air (it was 0c outside). Pleased I unplugged it, connected a timer and left it for the night expecting a warm car in the morning.

Went out this morning, notta, block heater is cold as well as the engine. I removed the timer and tried again, nothing. Looks like it burnt out but I don't know why. It seemed to be circulating when I tested it last night. Must have been air trapped in the system.

Hope I can return it....
