I had the pleasure last winter of realizing my block heater did not work. I managed to get through the winter ok without it but had my moments of frustration. Through out the summer I collected a few things my work was discarding. One of which was a brand new 120V PID heat controller. Really nice compact unit which I knew would work perfect. With some slight modifications and a custom made hanging bracket I was able to use my brake controller mount And avoid poking new holes in the bash and making it looked cluttered. The TC wire was a little short so I mounted it under a valve cover bolt for the time being. I will move to a different location if I cannot get a good temp measurement from there. I think it will work well. I can keep it plugged in all night and maintain an exact temp and extend the life of the heater by not running it wide open all the time. Is it overkill? Probably but it is cool ha!
