    OEM Block Heater?

    Is there such a thing? I was reading somewhere that there is a OEM block heater standard for a EX/EX-R. I've never of this on any Accord and I'm pretty it's not true, but this would be perfect for Canadian winters!
    Current:
    2007 Acura TL Type-S 6MT KBP

    Past:
    1992 Honda Accord EX-R Sedan - RIP
    1991 Honda Accord EX-R Wagon - RIP 10/14/2010

    Words change lives. You just got to choose the right ones.

      cp_mike also knows quite abit about them too. I believe the honda kit uses a modified block coolant drain bolt w/ the actual heater unit tapped in the center of the bolt and the rest I believe is the elec. cord.

        It is true. It's only for Canadian models, though I think some northern US models had it as an option. Perhaps it was for 92-93 EX-R only.

          I believe you can get them here in the US thru the dealer, I've sorta always wanted one, may end up getting one @ some point. Makes me wonder what its capable of heating the coolant up to @ a given outside temp.

            I'm quite sure they're optional for us, yes... especially up north where you're at, Dan!
            I think I read something from cpmike years ago saying we have all the wiring or mounting points or whatever for it. Just need the parts to plug into it. I never looked into it myself... it gets cold here, but never THAT bad that I feared for my block!

              The block heater is an accesory for all accords 1990-1993 in the us and Canada. There is one I pulled from my junkyard off a usdm 1990 ex coupe.

              Here are the install directions for a cd5. the only difference is the way the cord is ran.

                  Ya my 93 EXR doesn't have one but has the place for it. I'm guessing it was only added as an extra at the time of it being ordered.

                  It's on ebay:

                      I'd take it and put a different end on it. The picture above looks like 120, so just take a cord (Home depot) and attach it.
