Do Kat's Catridge Block Heater Allow Contaminants into Engine Oil or Cooling System
Published 01/03/2017
Question:
I see where this cartridge inserts into the block, but is this hole a deep well into the engine block, or is it part of the cooling circuit? Reason Im asking is that I drive on a lot of dirt roads, and am worried about dust finding its way into my engine.

Catridge holes like what the part # KH11813 are designed to fit do not have direct access to coolant or motor oil. There would be no risk of dirt getting introduced into your engine with one of these heaters.
