Default Pad Heaters? Any comments recommendations, etc.?

Heating pads, heat lamps, small quartz heaters; all have been used. If
you use something that does not have a thermostat, use an inline baseboard
heater thermostat, available at home stores.

Add a timer so that it does not run all of the time, and you have a
system. Of course for minimal condensation amounts, run them all of the
time.


Fellow I know also adds a small aquarium pump. The pump sucks outside air in
through a large plastic jar filled with Silica Gel and then exhausts it into
the crankcase breather, slightly pressurizing the crankcase with bone-dry
air.
