Honda Core/Freeze Plug Compatibility? v.bolock.heater
« on: December 10, 2009, 12:54:41 PM »
Anyone know if K series engines share the same size core plug as B and D series engines.

Looking to install a block heater this weekend if I can get my hands on one.  It is looking like the dealer is the only place that I will be able to source one, and IU doubt they will have one in stock for a D16.

Found a different route to take with one that goes into the lower radiator hose.  Looks like I am picking one up this evening.  I'm gonna install that shit at work tomorrow.

lol.

This one should actually fit when the turbo makes its way into the bay as well.

Hah!  Took a little bit of digging, but I did find the answer in a manufacturer's catalog.  They are indeed the same.  28 mm for pretty much all of the aluminum block engines.

lol, where i live in canada, it hardly EVER snows and its usually always above freezing....

BUT, since i work in the parts business and do lots of catalog maintenance, i happen to know this part number...

310 0006

give that to a NAPA and they should be able to find you a block heater that will thread into your blocks front coolant drain




$103 through Napa for the screw in type

I am not a fan of either waiting for my car to warm up for 20+ minutes or being cold for about 70% of the drive in the morning.

Single digit and low teens temps fucking suck.

I just like having it for the simpleness of having a vehicle that start at all when it is -40 out.

It is -28C (-18F) out right now with a nice steady 12km/h (7.5mph) wind, making it a stay inside, -38C (-36F) outside.

I picked up one of the heaters that installs in the lower radiator hose, now that I think about it, I don't think it will work with a Honduh cooling system.

 :-\

I may try it just to satisfy my own curiosity though.
