From what I've seen the intake on many cars are around 80 degrees difference between the iat and the ambient air which causes higher combustion temperatures, when I start coating the engine it will be summer so I need to avoid overheating!! And from what I understand a r-13 insulation value takes about 13 hours for the inside temperature to work its way out, so you could put a block heater in and have it maintain temp better!!
