I'm not sure of the wattage of your heater but i have a 1KW heater that is pumped through the engine. After 2 hours it gets up to 55c, maybe a few more if it's not so cold. I have the option of making it a 2 or 3KW heater which would heat it quicker and lessen the time it has to dump heat as an alloy block loses heat very quickly!
I have to go now, my kid has gone to bed telling me he has plans to make a zombie garden tomorrow!! I may be busy making tombstones etc.
Not with coroplast though.
