ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for heating a cold engine includes a cylinder band heater, a battery heater, an oil sump heater, and a wiring harness. The cylinder band heater includes a heating element, a tightening band, and a cylinder electrical connector. The tightening band is preferably a hose clamp. The heating element is attached to either the inside or outside of the tightening band with preferably some type of adhesive. A thermostat may be on the wiring harness. A battery heater includes a battery heater element, and a battery electrical connector. A thermostat is preferably included between the wiring harness and the battery heater to keep the temperature relatively constant. The wiring harness includes an AC power cord and an AC plug which mate with a 120 volt extension cord. The wiring harness preferably provides a connection to at least one cylinder band heater, a battery heater, and an oil sump heater. The cylinder band heater is tightened around the non-heat sink area of the cylinder. The battery heater may be attached to the battery or placed near the battery.
