wvo- injectors or entire block??

aside from the obvious fact that the fuel needs to be heated to atleast 160, is it true that the ENGINE needs heated to 160 or is it just the INJECTORS that need to be heated to 160?
-i'm running an idi so assume the injector lines are heated and there are no fuel rails through heads.

thanks!!

It's the fuel that needs to be heated. It's also good practice to wait until your engine is up to operating temperature before using WVO.

IMO, I never cared for running straight WVO since it's a very viscous fuel and will coke and clog injectors in short order if not run properly. Biodiesel solves many of those problems.
