Answer
Hello Kyle:

>>Yes I can.
>>Most Diesel Repair Centers will have or can Usually get an Engine Block Heater that Attachs to the Oil Pan with a Heavy Duty Magnet.
>>I Use this Type of Unit on My ATV Engine in the Winter for Quicker Starts and Operation.
>>I Made a Large Band that Wraps Around the Engine and Holds the Block Heater to the Aluminum Block when it is in Use.
<<The Band and Heater are Left in the Building and Not Attached During Operation of the Unit.
>>If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. I Hope you Had a Happy Holiday and May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
