install freeze plug heater
does anyone know how hard it is to install a freeze plug block heater? i really wantto get one due to the fact that i am a volly ff and i get calls at 2-3am in the middle of the night and i usually have to floor my car from a COLD start so i want to always have a warm engine. how hard is it to install one of these suckers? i have heard they "screw" in. is that true, or do they need to be hammered in (replacing the freeze plug last year was a PITA - i couldnt do it - i had to take it to a mechanic. is this an easy job? i want to do it myself because the part is cheap enough. also, does anyone know the wattage of the stock freeze plug? i want at least 300w and im not sure what stock is. thanks.
