What I was asking about is how hot does a Steff's oil heater get? If I plug it in and forgot about it would it scorch the oil? Is it thermostatically controlled? Temps here were a little below freezing last week. My garage isn't heated unless I'm working out there and that is with two space heaters. When I was mounting the new oil catch tank and converting to a PCV system, and remounting the carburetors.
I have the Melling high volume oil pump with the shim added. Cold starts are a delicate thing . No choke. Can't zing the throttle with cold oil or the distributor drive gear pin will shear. I haven't used the heater yet . I'm looking for some experience for guidence.
