LOL, Antti, I thought you said you didn't want to update this thread and the FB posts, what happened? Are you letting Eric update Facebook?

However, then I realized that my FB site can be viewed even without having a profile in FB.
Hehehe! If I (or we) ever happen to come to NY, at least I know few people that I must meet

Installing the engine oil heater pad.
I did some measuring on computer screen beforehand about how to orient the heater on the oil pan. I had measured the oil pan earlier at the winter and wrote the measures on the pan. So it was easy to zoom the picture into a real life size.
Then, at the club garage. At first I had to remove the large plastic cover. There was 19 screws attaching it if I remember it right
.
Next I removed the reinforcement plate to expose the oil pan.
The sweatiest part was grinding and sanding down the low fins on the bottom of the oil pan. Fortunately I was heavily equipped.
The pad installed. It was mounted with a strong 3M™ VHB™ adhesive. The blue stuff is only silicone which was used to seal the edges. Again, not the prettiest install, but works lol!
Putting things back...
Luring the DEFA cable to the front mask was a bit annoying haha!
The end.
