What temperature is your engine block after the time period.

I have my Engne block heater on for 2hours and the engine temperature is around 110 degrees. Is it possible to get the temperature higher leaving the heater on longer?

Based on my 4.5 hr cycle, I'm estimating that the HiHy EBH is capable of a 40C increase at most. If outside temp is 5C (41F), you would see coolant temps around 45C (114F) at start. If someone who has a ScanGage can confirm with data, that would be a help.

Also have attached a photo of my bumper foam grill insert.
