I live in Denver and it has never been an issue for me.

What search term should I be using when looking for this kit? I tried on Atlantic-British, but I am getting random results... I too am having this same leak. Mike, does bypassing by connecting the 2 hoses affect the heater, or is it just for warming the block? I live in the central valley of CA, barely ever cold enough to wear a jacket... [&:]
Thanks

Oops, sorry, don't know how I came up with that question. I meant to ask if bypassing with the copper tubing will affect the cooling of the block (or anything else), or is it strictly for warming?
Sorry for the confusion..

By-passing the system has no effect on the heater or the engines cooling capiabilities, it is just a pre heater/emission control device, that is supposed to help warm up the engine, which is really not needed.

Thanks Mike, I think I will grab some copper tubing today! My big concern is the cooling, my temp gauge seems to be working fine, never rising above half, but I feel warmth in the cabin after driving a bit, can this be normal?
Thanks again
