The engine block heater (1) is mounted in the cylinder block (2), near the right rear corner. The block heater is a dry cylinder type design and is powered by 110 volt AC. The power cord must be secured in its retainer clips, and not positioned so it could contact linkages or exhaust manifolds and become damaged.
