I'd imagine there'd be a plug in the block near the firewall or something that you could remove, after draining the coolant, and install a block heater.

Not sure though. Don't even know what the climate is like in Japan. I'm that ignorant. :oops:

I'm pretty sure it's on the side of the block that faces the firewall.
I'll check when I'm at the shop tomorrow night.

I would think wherever there is a frost plug you could fit a heater... I'd love to have one on the front of the engine. Not sure though. The blocks are entirely different, right? (naive 4 cyl guy) Because then the passages will also be different...

Please let us know when you get one in...

It snows in Japan.
