I"ve got a 1981 MF 285, and I"ve seen different types of engine block heaters, anybody have any advice on the best type to go with?

Thanks for your advice, I think I'll go with the 2 plug method. It seems you get good circulation that way.

We"ve got the type that is plumbed in through 2 plugs on the engine, one in front and the other in back. I think they work best because they circulate throughout the block, not just one part of the engine like some heaters. Works good on our 285...

I installed an in-line heater in the lower rad hose on my AD3 152 this year with exellent results. Not sure of your application but they have to be installed in a section of the hose running uphill into the block to get proper circulation.
