I did not want to remove a plug and find that the heater element would not allow it to fit because of obstructions inside the block. No problems at all with the lower radiator hose heater. I have not worried about overheating the coolant, as I do not leave it plugged in for long time periods, and only use it once in a while. I also know the coolant is circulating in the block, since the far end of the head gets about as warm as the one near the water pump. Easy fix!
