"I'm installing a block heater in my 6-354. Its the style of heater that goes inline in one of your coolant hoses. I need to make sure its on the right side of the thermostat but am not sure where the thermostat is.

The engine is keel cooled and I have the following external coolant connections:

-header tank to keel cooler
-keel cooler to oil cooler
-oil cooler to Y-pipe
-Y-pipe splits off to exhaust manifold and to the belt driven water pump on the front of the engine.

I would like to install the heater in the section of hose between the oil cooler and the Y-pipe. I know that this will allow the heated water to reach the exhaust manifold, but am not sure if the water traveling through the other side of the y-pipe to the water pump will reach the block as I don't know where the thermostat is. Please advise."
