OK, so its a balmy 62 degrees(Fahrenheit for our neighbors to the north)in Michigan today, I have the day off, and nana is watching my little princess. I"ve never installed one of these before, and I"m looking for a little help on the details. I found the drain plug on the block, but, i"m not sure where to hook the other line(s) for the coolant return. Any help or stick figure diagrams would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance,

Matt

Matt: Don't know if the gas engine is the same, but on 560 and 656 diesels there is a coolant port in the head above each cylinder. On my diesels I used a heater like Hal's photo and went from block drain to the port in the head directly above the block drain. It's best if you can find ports near the center of the engine. Problem with ports at the front, you get wasted heat going to the rad or cab. I once saw one didn't warm the engine, but you could have lived in the cab, heat rises as does hot water.

here's how it was done on our 656:

on the carburetor side of the engine, the heater inlet is connected to a block drain or threaded frost plug with whatever pipe adaptors are necessary. the heater outlet is plumbed to a T installed where the temp sender is located on the head so that the sender still reads. i think there is another hole tapped in the head that would be better since the sender should be right in the head. but that is how ours is.
