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.
