How cold will your engine start?

[playdiesel]

Been real cold (for Ohio) here all winter and it was around 10 degrees on the shop thermometer Saturday morning when I turned the heater on. While waiting for it to warm up a bit I spotted the Metro DI 6/1 sitting in the rear and thought, no way it will start,, will it? Had to try it, hasnt run since October. Turned over like it had axle grease for lube but manged to get it going fast enough to get it over compression and it fired off like summer time. Engine has very little time on it and didnt even hardly smoke other than the back you allways get with an open rack when starting.

I was impressed but maybe I impress easily? How cold will your engines start without assistance?

You did quite well to get it running at 10F (-12C).
Perhaps the Direct Injection makes a difference with cold starts ?

Some Lister(roids) start better than others in cold temps.
