BLOCK HEATER FOR ROBOTIC INSTALLATION ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE It is difficult if not impossible to install conventional engine block heaters robotically. The present device includes a cylindrical body with a heater element extending upon one side thereof and operatively connected to terminals on the other side thereof with a sealing o-ring around the body portion for sealing engage- ment with a cylindrical aperture formed in the engine block wall. A retainer ring surrounds the outer end of the body portion having at least one of standing portion formed thereon with an aperture formed therethrough and a corresponding screw-threaded aperture is formed in the wall of the block to one side of the aperture into which the heater engages. Installation by robotic means includes a probe engaging the aperture in the off-standing portion of the ring and into the screw threaded aperture of the block to locate the heater radially and in align- ment with the aperture in the block whereupon the heater is pushed into sealing engagement with the aperture, the probe is removed and a retaining bolt is inserted into the aperture in the retaining ring and screw threadably engaged in the screw threaded aperture in the block thereby retaining the heater in position with all of the above steps being accomplished robotically.
