Winter is coming, I'm thinking about installing a block heater this weekend.
Anyone know what size the freeze plugs on the side of the block are?

Installed the Zerostart Engine Heater - freeze plug/immersion.
If anyone is interested: It is installed in the left rear, clocked to 6 o'clock ,the instructions were pretty good , other than I used a 14" pry bar both for punching the soft plug in and ,braced against the exhaust manifold, to pry it out. There is no way to get pliers or Vice-grips in there.
It was about a 15-30 min job cost $15 (heater) + antifreeze $4 per gal.
