Not necessarily. There's no hard and fast rule that's just what a lot of people set it at. The length would really depend on the temperature.

A note about timers for our block heaters, just make sure you get one rated for 15 or 20 amps. It will probably be labeled as "heavy duty". The heaters in our trucks would smoke most of the standard timers out there (we don't want to be burning down anyone's house). Generally speaking 2 hours minimum on the timer and anything over 4 is probably a waste.

This is a thin liquid metal prep solution that will leave a finish that resists rust and is ready for paint if you follow the instructions.
