DIY Freeze Plug Engine Block Heater Install, 1989 Corolla

I hunted around the web before I did this, but never found a tutorial showing a freeze-plug engine block heater installation on any car. (EDIT: I should say I didn't find any that I thought were more than a little bit helpful and/or pertinent.)

... probably because it isn't a common thing to do. If you live in the great cold north, your cars come new with OEM heaters, and if you don't, you presumably don't need one.

I added a heater and did it the OEM way, and wrote a tutorial.



You can read all about it here:

Of course the details depend a great deal on make/model.

Let me know if you find it helpful.

Cheers,
Chris
