I plan on helping kjacob install a block heater unit on his 2003 TC 30. We want to do this right the first time, so if someone has already done this work on a 30, we would appreciate any friendly advice.
It looks like he's got a nice clear shot at a soft plug on the left side of the engine (viewed from the seat).
1. It is essential to drain the coolant first?
2. Okay to pry the soft plug out, or will that damage the threads?
3. What do we use around the block heater to seal it properly to the block?
4. Any special tools required that we should make sure we have on hand?
The plan is to do this job sometime between now and turkey day.
Thanks all.
