Artic blast Don't forget about your race car engine

Ha yep, 0*C

Changed my mind, adding antrifreeze and will flush it out later, rather not risk it. Still will setup the automatic block heater stuff just to see how it all works out.

I added a half gallon and ran the car for an hour. The thermostat opened but the temperature gauge never went over 140 and the water in the recovery tank was still cold after running an hour. I guess I will have to unload the car and put it in the garage to make sure.

We had a warm October here so I didn't bother with the green. Tonight's low is only 2 degrees colder than it is now so I should be good. This is about as cold as I've ever seen this garage (attached, not heated). It's 7 degrees outside right now.

All set with the antifreeze

I was able to get mine to hot enough to get the t stat open

I'll be able to see if the light bulb and radiator prob heater turns on, but my unit definitely will get below freezing

I got scared.. added two electric heaters and a propane heater on low. Using my laser thermometer I was seeing some engine temps in the low 30's. It is 5degrees outside this morning.

All these preparations that are relying on heaters or lightbulbs are having a tough time around here. Most people I've talked to haven't had power since 2 am. I get power for a little bit then it goes away for a longer time...

My shop has zero insulation and isn’t really sealed all that well. I put water bottles with tap water all around the shop to see if they’d freeze. Non of them froze and it got down to 4F here. I thought it kinda strange. I don’t understand how that’s possible.
