It took a while, but here are some pics of the engine compartment heater I improvised. I think I'm going to make a similar one to blow on the oil cooler.

Hey, I noticed that farm equipment places have heating pads in all shapes and sizes. Shockingly cheap, and apparently sourced the same as the aviation ones.

I use a Harbor Fright (Halloween coming up) fan driven disc heater with some HVAC items cobbled in such a way that it's funneled into the left side of the cowl. I close the gills and usually plug the left side with some foam. I have it mounted on an old tripod so it can be properly positioned. Heats everything except the oil cooler, which doesn't seem to b3 a problem with the Phillips 25-60. I live near Buffalo, NY. I'll try to post a picture sometime.

Honestly Olivier, I can't even begin to remember! I got those heating
pads 10 years ago (and they still work by the way).

I think I just went to their web site and talked to their sales agent.
I have one that has two pads. In other words, it has one power cord,
that controls TWO heating pads. Both of those are on the bottom of the
oil tank itself.

Then I have another one that is stuck on the lower sump.

I do not have one on the oil cooler, as Dennis recommended, BUT .... I
have a very unique oil cooler in my YAK-50. It has a thermostat bypass,
so that when the weather is cold, the oil cooler is BY-PASSED.

When it comes to these aircraft, I would listen carefully to anything
Dennis recommends.
