Question:

Hello there! I am looking to equip my 773 with a Philiiips & Temco 3100025 block heater, but I could use some guidance on where and how to install it. Can anyone provide some assistance or coaching on this process? Your help is greatly appreciated in advance!

To properly install, place at the rear of the cylinder head, positioning the element at the 2 o’clock position as shown on page 66 of the 2016 Zerostart Catalog. For clarity, it is recommended to explain this step clearly at the beginning of the instructions. Find more information in the Zerostart Catalog available at: https://phillipsandtemro.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/2016-Zerostart-Catalog.pdf.

Upon waking up in a panic, I realized I forgot to mention an important detail: make sure to angle the element slightly to the right rather than pointing it straight up, to avoid any metal-on-metal contact. Time is of the essence, as it appears you may already be running five minutes behind schedule!

Hey Delmer, does anyone have a picture of the "back of head" freeze plug? I'm trying to find a visual reference.
