I am wondering if others have experience based opinions regarding how to plumb a cockpit heater with the coolant system...

Do you use the water or the oil system to heat the exchanger in the cockpit?  (Or do you trust the exhaust to not leak and just heat up an exhaust manifold can and duct it inwards... not very safe in my opinion!)

Do you use a valve or do you let it run/ cycle all the time.

Would you use a fan to just recycle the cockpit air, or do you use a duct of external vent air to blow over the exchanger?

Just thinking about these things ya know!!
