Title: Detroit 8v92 bud heater install
Post by: hitch2626 on March 21, 2023, 04:16:44 PM
I have a Detroit 8v92. I am looking to install a bus heater.  I am not sure where to tap into the coolant system. Has anyone done this before or maybe have some pictures.

There is a plug on top of the water pump at the top hose connection,then a return plug on the other side at the front of the block to make a loop both are 3/4 inch plugs , or you have plugs in the heads, with plugs stay above the freeze plugs if you tie into a plug below the freeze plugs the water goes in the oil pan,for a block heater there is plate with 4 bolts on the right side for a block heater
