1-4
Locate threaded and remove core plug on RH side of engine.
Remove core plug and drain remaining coolant.
NOTE: Be careful when removing plug as coolant may be hot and clearance is tight.
1-5
Install gasket (1) and coat threads of heater bo1dy with high temperature, gasket compound (2).,
1-6
Install engine block heater into core plug opening and tighten with adjustable pliers or 12 Point Crows foot (1 7/16”) until gasket is seated completely to engine block. Tighten the heater an additional 60 +/‐ 10 degrees to acquire a torque of 90 +/‐ 0.5 [N‐m] or 66 +/‐ 0.5 [ft‐lbs].
CAUTION: Failure to follow proper tightening procedures may allow coolant to leak onto the hot exhaust pipe and cause a fire, resulting in serious personal injury and property damage.
1-7
Plug harness into heater element. Orient orange connector towards the front by twisting the orange connector inside the heater. Inside of heater can be rotated relative to the outer body.
1-8
Route block heater harness forward towards the oil filler tube.
With a heat resistant wire tie, attach the block heater harness to the bottom cam position sensor harness.
Note: Ensure that the block heater harness does not make contact with the engine casting or the exhaust manifold.
1-9
Attach engine block heater harness to the cam solenoid harness that is under the engine block identification sticker using heat resistant wire tie
1-10
Route engine heater harness between the engine block and the upper radiator hose. Attach the third heat resistant wire tie to the engine block heater harness where the tape mark meets the main engine ECU harness towards the passenger side chassis of the vehicle.
1-11
Direct the engine block heater harness around radiator and down towards the radiator plastic plug and through the trim hole for the ambient temperature sensor harness.
1-12
Tie down the heat resistant wire tie to the ambient temperature harness that is fed through the slot in the radiator trim.
1-13
Route the engine heater harness to the passenger side of the lower air intake opening. Using the male plug protector attach the male plug to the grille work.
1-14
Re-install exhaust system and engine covers (if equipped).
Refill coolant.
