Has anyone ever used a light bulb to heat their engine block overnight in a cold climate? I am a pilot and have noticed people doing this with piston airplane engines up here in Colorado for years when the hangar has no heat. A light bulb under the engine cowling can provide enough heat the keep the oil at a safe engine starting temp.
I am thinking about doing this with my cars when/if they sleep outside of the garage on winter nights. Anyone ever tried this before? It sure seems logical, although the neighbors might think E.T. lives under your hood at night...
