Beat the Cold: Vintage Engine Block Heaters & Warmers
There is no sound more painful to a car lover than a cold engine struggling to turn over on a freezing morning. Thick oil, weak batteries, and icy coolant put immense strain on your internal components.
At Old Car Parts NW, we stock authentic NORS (New Old Replacement Stock) engine warmers designed to keep your block warm and your oil flowing, ensuring instant starts even in sub-zero temperatures.
Types of Warmers We Stock:
Vintage vehicles often use specific heater types that are different from modern cars:
Freeze Plug Heaters: Install directly into the engine block core plug for the most efficient heat transfer.
Circulating Tank Heaters: The heavy-duty solution. These external canisters plumb into your heater hoses to circulate warm coolant through the entire system. Perfect for vintage trucks and tractors.
Dipstick & Magnetic Warmers: Quick, universal solutions that slide into the oil tube or stick to the oil pan to liquefy thick motor oil.
Headbolt Heaters: A rare vintage accessory that replaces a cylinder head bolt to heat the water jacket directly.
Why Install One?
Reduce Wear: 90% of engine wear occurs during cold starts. Warm oil lubricates immediately.
Save Your Battery: A warm engine cranks easily, saving your 6V or 12V battery from dying.
Instant Heat: Get warm air from your defroster much faster.
