wtb: block heater for 93 Accord EX-R

wanted to buy: Honda block heater for a 1993 Accord EX-R.

I can't seem to locate a genuine Honda block heater. My mechanic tells me
that aftermarket block heaters may not fit properly and might pop out in
extreme cold. Apparently in southern Ontario the aftermarket block heater
might work but in northern Saskatchewan (where I'm headed this winter) the
plug might pop out. Is this any truth to this?

any help would be appreciated,

 

Dunno about the reliability of aftermarket block heaters, but
www.slhonda.com has an OEM for 1993 Accord various EX models for about $35 +
shipping/handling. Go to parts, put in your car's info, then select accessories,
then "accessories-electrical."

http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/home.htm also has them (also under
"accessories." Price is better but s/h may be more.

 

No.

Buy something from Crappy Tire that fits your frost plug size and it will
work fine.
