Hey i was just wondering if integras came with blockheaters? if not where could i find one and how would i go about installing it? And also, when i pull my ebrake, its often that only the left tire locks up and the right still turns. Is there a way to only tighten one side? thx

 

never came with block heaters.

 

yes it never came but it was an oem part. Ive seen acura sell them. Its like heating blanket for your engine. You dont plug a cord into your block and magically it warms up.

 

can i install one?

 

so it heats the engine while its not running? how much is it? how does it work?

 

The heater is an Acura accessory (p/n 08T44-ST7-200) and can be found for roughly $35-$40. It isn't a "heating blanket", it's a heating element that replaces the coolant drain bolt in the block. It's a relatively straight-forward installation, and after it's installed, it is used by simply plugging it in to a household socket. It is intended for areas that experience very cold temperatures, so depending upon where you live, you probably don't need one.
