Have you thought of just getting a new boiler from Jensen? The immersion rod heater would be a lot better than blanket…

I would have a hard time breaking that engine up…

Probably not gonna break it apart, however the blanketed heat just died on it, and it is a blanketed heater, original to it.

Not sure what I will do. Perhaps convert it to a fired boiler even as a #55.  Or order a new blanket heater

I could drill a hole into it and install a heating element.. but that changes the dynamic to the originality of this bad boy. I’m not even sure the year of this guy.
